Pros

- If you're working in one of the departments that don't require specific skills or education (i.e. kitting, shipping) benefits are great, as they are far above what you would normally get at an unskilled job - The mission of the company is genuinely great - Generally good coworkers - Good health insurance, and the company pays the whole premium for employees

Cons

- Largely incompetent managers - HR that does nothing with repeated employee complaints - CEO who often behaves in a thoroughly inappropriate, abusive, or harassing manner to employees - If you have a skilled job, get ready to be paid between 30-50% or more below market value for your position - Leadership is extremely resistant to any change in the status quo - Highly gender-discriminatory environment

Pros

Decent benefits, lunches, and most of the people working genuinely care about the mission and each other.

Cons

It seems pay is below average for almost role when talking to coworkers, raises are non-existent, job scope is constantly increasing, and a few members of the team seem to be working 50 hours or more a week.
