Pros
Incredible community. Coworkers are genuinely excited to come to work every day (as am I), we LOVE what we do, believe in the company, work hard & are self-starters. We feel a personal responsibility to make this company and community the best it can be. Free classes, easy to make friends, hard work is recognized, employees feel valued for their ideas and suggestions. Although we are expected to answer all emails within 24 hours (so sometimes means you take your work home at night/ on weekends), everyone is very understanding and reasonable about personal commitments. Bosses trust that you will get your own work done in timely fashion (and we do). Very young - in terms of employees - company, mostly 20 + 30 year olds.
Cons
Salary is low, often feels like a struggle to live in NYC on the paycheck. I wonder if higher ups are aware of how much this affects their employees because they are so far removed from living paycheck to paycheck. Not a ton of direction in terms of growth, only eligible for promotions/salary increases once a year (which is unmotivating). Health benefits have been diminished year over year, worrisome re: potential of staying with the company long-term.
