Pros

- Travel opportunities - Great co-workers - Meet tons of interesting people

Cons

- Starting salary is $2000/month which is a joke. They promise a chance of upward mobility but give zero craps about your career. If you ask for a deserved raise, they blame it on budgeting and make it clear that you're easily replaceable. - Only personal friends of the Leadership team are promoted, most of whom are totally unqualified for their positions. Take a look at their LinkedIn job histories - it's hilarious. - Horrible communication with employees. i.e. They fire people without even telling them. They deal with all uncomfortable situations by just avoiding them. - Company seems strapped on cash, struggling to meet numbers, not profitable. - No professional development opportunities, unless you count your $25/month kindle stipend. - 75% of the employees are only sticking around long enough to finish their travel bucket list, then they're out. Older employees are quitting left and right. - Executive team is a mess and in constant disagreement. Throw in a handful of external advisors and no decisions can be made or executed. Even though this seems like a dream job on paper, I would not recommend it unless you enjoy a toxic work environment, playing politics and taking crap from a gossipy group of inexperienced 28 year old mean-girls.
