Pros

Friendly co-workers who understand when you have an issue that needs resolved. Easy-going customers and familiar faces.

Cons

Every person in management is basically related to each other. Couples as supervisors and their best friends as managers. Don't expect to advance any time soon. You will have to pick up the slack of management on a daily basis, but this happens at most companies so nothing out of the ordinary. Low starting pay that you cannot live off of. Nearly impossible to get a full-time position.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
