Pros

You probably will not get fired if you work 12+ hours per day.

Cons

50% below-market pay. "Stock" awards are not real stock, they are simply profits that will be diluted infinitely if the company ever becomes profitable. Company values are an attempt to trick workers into low pay and loyalty in the name of the public good. Company's only real values are profits for the owners. Employees are treated as commodities. Execs live in a echo chamber on insanity. The owner changed his name from Peter Reynolds to Peter Rex. Seriously. The CEO of Investres, the real estate company being cannibalized to prop up the massively unprofitable Trustwork, is a childhood friend of the owner with no qualifications other than a limitless capacity for brown nosing. 90% of InvestRes (really named Avesta. Look it up) execs have quit in the last year. Most of Trustwork is quitting as well. Truly an awful place to work.

Pros

While working here, immediately, one is welcomed and enveloped into a warm, strong community that goes above and beyond, not only for the company, but also for one another. You can't help but feel like family, celebrating every little win and supporting each other during the struggles. As a start-up, not everything is going to be pretty at the end of the day, but I know for a fact that this team is quick to realize and admit mistakes, learn from it, grow from it, and be stronger than before. To add to this, the CEO, Mr. Peter Rex, not only establishes a feeling of support and trust, but he puts his money where his mouth is. You can see and trust his vision for the company. At the end of the day, you don't feel like you are working for him, but rather with him. He's with you in the trenches helping not only the company grow, but also you as an individual. He is inclusive, supportive, intelligent, hard-working, passionate, and innovative. This is truly a company where you know you are supported, will be challenged, and will come out better than when you come in.

Cons

Not a workplace for the faint of heart. Great things are worth the blood, sweat, and tears. Not a con, but rather startups are hard and need the time and passion invested in them. It's what sets leaders apart from the pack.
