Pros
Great values: this is a company led by caring, principled people. They want their team to succeed.
Growing company: exciting to be part of rapid expansion.
Cons
Great values: be prepared for a dress code.
Growing company: be prepared for inevitable growing pains (infrastructure scaling up, employees sometimes have to "wear a lot of hats" to meet new challenges).
I love the company, and the leaders I get to work with. I appreciate the culture, and the focus on smart, kind, and driven people. They take a proactive measure to ensure the culture is aligned with their words. The CEO is the best leader I have had the previlege to work with.
Cons
When we say the are committed to their culture - it is real. If you are not smart, kind, and driven you cannot be here - so they do hold team members accountable to who they are, and who they become.
* Made some good friendships with coworkers.
* Learned customer service skills and how to work in a fast-paced environment.
* The job helped me gain work experience and confidence interacting with customers.
* Some team members were supportive and willing to help new employees learn.
Cons
* I felt there was favoritism at times, and some employees seemed to be treated differently than others.
* Communication from management was not always clear or consistent.
* Safety and training expectations did not always seem to match what employees were being told to do on the job. For example, I was told by a supervisor that I could use the pressure washer while the wash was active, which conflicted with my training and understanding of safety procedures.
* Concerns raised by employees did not always feel like they were taken seriously.
* The work environment could become stressful due to management decisions and workplace drama.
