Pros

Great people, free snacks, decent insurance. In fact I stayed at the company for over three years due to the cool people that worked there. Overall, it was a great place to learn to implement processes and see high impact of your daily decisions.

Cons

No 401k match, very little PTO. High work load for the amount of pay. When work from home started, the workload got really bad. Lack of human interactions, high work load, poor inter company communication just made this place not enjoyable. I had a manager tell me it was expected to work 60 hours a week so we can be more efficient at working. Honestly, when I heard that, I put in my two weeks and left. Not worth the stress on your mental health and your relationships at home.

Pros

- Amazing culture and co-workers. Very casual and collaborative environment, but still filled with highly intelligent and driven people which makes it a fun place to work and learn. - Tons of growth across the business which gives employees the opportunity to wear multiple hats, gain exposure to different functions, and develop skillsets outside of their normal scope. - Leadership team is highly communicative, transparent, and hands-on. Culture is driven from the top down and executives are very involved in the business and employee experience. - Fast-paced, high-growth environment where employees can make a real impact on the organization instead of feeling like a small piece of a massive corporate structure. - Strong level of visibility across departments and leadership, giving employees exposure to strategic conversations and business initiatives they may not normally see at larger companies. - Entrepreneurial culture where new ideas, process improvements, and innovation are welcomed instead of buried in layers of bureaucracy. Company has continued to invest heavily into growth, operations, talent, and infrastructure which creates strong long-term opportunity for employees. - Cross-functional collaboration is a huge part of the culture. Teams work closely together across Operations, Sales, Supply Chain, Marketing, HR, and Finance to move the business forward quickly. - Employees who are proactive and willing to take ownership tend to do very well because there is a high level of trust and autonomy across the organization. - Leadership genuinely cares about building a strong culture and maintaining the “people-first” feel even as the business continues to scale rapidly.

Cons

- Benefits could definitely be improved. Only offering 10 days of PTO feels pretty low compared to similar companies and honestly is not enough time to fully disconnect and recharge throughout the year. - The 401(k) offering also feels behind the market. Having no company match makes the overall benefits package feel less competitive compared to other companies in the space. - As a private company, it would also be nice to see some form of equity or long-term incentive program extended more broadly to employees. In high-growth companies, it feels important for employees helping build the business to have some ability to share in the long-term success instead of all ownership incentives being concentrated only at the top.
