Pros

- First year program allows new employees to connect with others from college - Lets employees travel often and use corporate card for small business expenses - Small- business feel, everyone knows everyone on a first name basis

Cons

- A colleague of mine experienced racism from team and management, and was the only minority on the team. Was micromanaged 10x harder - Unclear feedback and directions on how to improve upon performance review time - Not competitive starting salary, others in the first year program had different wages - Management will exclude on purpose without warning, very high school feel - Utilized screaming and surprise pop-up meetings as a way of discipline for employee to "improve"

Pros

Work from home, 401k match up to 6% (plus they contribute a separate amount each year), HSA employer contributions

Cons

Work heavily depends on your manager and team. I have had many managers since I started and the culture has shifted from a small, specialty company, to more of a large corporate structure. It used to be very flat and you felt connected to upper management, now it feels more like a firm hierarchy that you have little understanding with.
