Pros

pay is really high to not do anything useful

Cons

clueless leadership. they promote people and give them raises and then the very next week lay them off. business model is shady as they promote how green and environmental it is but internal studies show that customers just buy more items instead of focusing on only used. engineering dept is overly silo'd and nobody knows who is in charge. priorities change every day. 3 CFO's in the past year. Company is burning cash and something feels fishy if that many CFO's have come and gone.

Pros

There are none- see the cons.

Cons

Trove loves to talk about “scaling” and “expanding,” which is hilarious when you see the reality: women in leadership running petty corporate fiefdoms, guarding their turf like medieval nobles, and reacting to fresh ideas like someone just unplugged their ring light. Want to impress here? Don’t innovate — that’s threatening. Instead, perfect the art of logging 5-minute billable increments for reading client emails (yes, reading), because that’s apparently the pinnacle of value. Training? Onboarding? Ha! You’ll get about as much of that as a plumber gets applause for showing up on time. Which, speaking of — expect to spend a shocking amount of your “strategic” lifestyle career chasing plumbing appointments in a shared folder. This is framed as high-level client service. It’s not. If your dream job is to tiptoe around insecure managers while pretending bureaucratic micromanagement is “leadership,” you’ll fit right in. If not — save yourself the headache and the stopwatch.
