Pros

Communication, mentorship, and a great team are all great aspects about working here. Personally, my favorite thing is the flexibility- I really appreciate knowing that I can take a midday appointment or pick up my kid from school when I need to. The unlimited PTO is also a huge plus.

Cons

It’s a quickly growing company, so naturally that comes with some growing pains. But on the same note, leadership has really put in the work to make sure things go smoother with each “growth spurt” we have.

Access to leadership, transparency, creative freedom, flexible schedules, and lots of autonomy. A great company in an emerging industry where employees get to do daily work that positively impacts the company and industry.

Sometimes long hours, but balanced out by shorter days and unlimited PTO!
