Pros

Building corporate function over the past 3 years, get exposure to senior level executives, gaining experience in all aspects of corporate functions.

Cons

Fast-paced work environment does not work well for those who need constant oversight. Team members need to be able to act quickly and make decisions with little supervision.

Pros

Fair compensation. Amazing retirement plant - 50% 401(k) match from 1% to 75% of bi-weekly compensation. Obviously there is the IRS limit, but you have option to max out that limit earlier.

Cons

None that I can identify

Pros

If you are cool with regressing into a zero impact worker it’s a very easy company to coast at and it’s largely incentivized.

Cons

Zero professional dignity. Your stakeholders will be some of the dumbest people you’ve ever met and the company rewards this. Everything gets mangled into some 5 year olds vision and the spend on mediocrity is insane. They hate technology you’ll never get access and all software decisions are made through the lens of how some corpo who doesn’t work would want to use it. Couldn’t stand the people I had to deal with and just all around anti technology anti productivity kind of place, just crazy.
