Pros

Great co-workers, flexibility to work from home when needed, new products/innovations to learn, and an opportunity to expand your knowledge of the digital space.

Cons

There's zero work/life balance if you're in Services. You are expected to be "on call" all hours of the evening, work long hours during the day/week, and forget having any extracurricular activities or spending time with your family. You cannot "check out" and it's not a healthy lifestyle. Don't challenge senior leadership on department practices, ways to foster change, or steer from the majority opinion because you will pay for it in performance reviews even though they state in your interview that they love new ideas that change the way they operate. When you add up the hours you actually work during the week, you are significantly underpaid!

Pros

Nice people Relaxed "aloha" culture Inspirational CEO with a great vision Great benefits Free Food

Cons

"Bait & Switch" hiring/ recruiting tactics. You are "sold" false expectations of your role. If you are hiring for an entry-level position, please say so in the job description. Lack of support from management and HR (Employee Success) in moving departments or to a position that is at your skill level. Cronyism and people are quick to throw you under the bus. Lack of training on the multiple platforms. To aid in career growth and excitement about the product, all employees should have access to training tools and sessions.
