Energetic and tight knit team

Pros

Supportive co-workers, interesting problems to solve/work to do, lots of flexibility for creativity. The culture is people and team focused and the company mission is to help users save money, which everyone is really committed to. Like any small company, each employee has high visibility and high impact over the outputs.

Cons

Trim is an early stage start-up, which means many of its Pros can also be seen as Cons if you're not prepared for the environment. The business is still working to put new systems and structures in place, and there is always a lot to do -- this is great if you are prepared to have ownership over your work, but wouldn't be a fit for someone who needs a lot of structure to feel supported.

Pros

The company's values are centered around nurturing the team, nurturing growth, and nurturing its customers. This focus on the team's well-being as well as our users' financial health makes it so easy to come to work everyday and enjoy the people that I am working with!

Cons

Like many early stage startups, Trim is always in go-go-go mode with many priorities. This can sometimes make it feel a bit chaotic.

Wonderful company emerging from a period of metamorphosis

Pros

- engaging, fun, brilliant, and compassionate coworkers - relentless experimentation to fully engage its customers and further save them money - general feeling of camaraderie instead of usual hierarchy - management owns up to its mistakes and tries to set example through action and demonstration of themselves, instead of just delegating or ordering - culture is rooted in learning and improving

Cons

- because of a culture of learning and improving, mistakes can be made that affect employees and set a tone not intended - communication and “finding our stride” was far more difficult than I think any of us expected during the pandemic. - While the shift to remote allowed us to improve our reach for new employees, I think management at times fell back to the “butt in seat” mentality in that our salary was payment for our time, not our work output, and all without realizing it. Thus creating an invisible mismatch in expectations between employees and managers. Hopefully they have improved, but I’m sure at the very least they are trying to.
