Pros

Unlimited opportunity for personal and professional growth. I was originally hired for a completely different position than the one I currently hold. I was allowed to use my expertise, in a number of different fields, to create a new position for myself and now oversee the operations for the entire company. While my journey is different than most people who have (or will) come through the doors, the opportunities are there for those willing to work for it. When I started, in July of 2015, this was a small operation of about 12 people. Since then, it has grown to over 50 people on the way to over 100 by next year. The ownership is proactive and willing to change strategies on a dime to better the company. As with any start-up, there have been bumps in the road. Because the ownership and management are so fluid, those bumps have been kept small and none have turned into mountains.

Cons

I have no complaints that have not been addressed. Which is actually a Pro, but I have had various complaints/Cons since I started here, they have just all been addressed and reconciled.

Pros

The office location is fine. If I'm being generous, people were pleasant enough in passing.

Cons

Look, the core problem here is that everyone's working in their own silo and it drives you insane. You'd be trying to get basic information from marketing or ops about what's happening and nobody would tell you anything until you basically hunted them down, and they'd just repeat the same excuses about "different priorities" or being too busy, which honestly gets old real quick. The information just doesn't flow between teams — everyone does their own thing, and you're left piecing together what's actually happening from different people's versions of the truth which are never the same twice. It feels like everyone's protecting their own turf instead of actually working together, so you end up duplicating work, missing opportunities, and making mistakes because you don't have what you need to actually do your job right. The frustrating part is it sometimes felt intentional, like people weren't sharing information on purpose, which just adds this exhausted defeated layer to an already broken system where nobody's aligned on anything.
