Pros

People at the company are great, even if they aren't empowered to help employees

Cons

-Workload is very heavy. You are told you'll only be on a certain number of accounts when you start, then that number steadily increases. More work, no more pay. -Very low salary. You see the commission they are bringing in on the accounts, and it's ridiculous how little you make compared to the commission they get. -Completely outdated technology. When I started here, I was excited to see what the top 3rd party planning company in the US has in the way for event technology. Answer - nothing spectacular. When you suggest new ways of doing things, new processes to their outdated approach, you get the 'this is the way we've always done it' response.

Pros

Experience design focused company. Gives employees access to various in-house training, including behavioral economics knowledge. Unlimited sick leave. Paid holidays include the day after Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve through New Years day. 401K match and vesting is competitive. Overall good work-life balance. Core values include "take good care of each other" and "dual bottom line" -- however, the company contradicts itself and does not consistently practice these values.

Cons

A reactionary company. No changes, pivots or investments are made until a crisis hits, i.e. there is major employee turnover, loss of key clients, or a pandemic. Unable or unwilling to plan for the future and make necessary investments in order to generate new revenue streams. Does not invest in its employees, despite the core company values -- their decisions during the pandemic has demonstrated they believe the majority of their workforce is replaceable. Senior management can be stubborn and resistant to change. Health insurance premiums are expensive and only a high deductible plan is available. Expensive to have a family on the health insurance plan. Must stay at the company for 10 years before getting an increase in PTO. Compensation is low.
