Pros

Waves of no work to do. Not a lot of rules to follow as long as people think you're cool. Some free food.

Cons

Horrible work life balance. This is the kind of place that makes you feel sick when you walk in. Very little communication and everything is constantly unorganized. I don't even know what peoples job titles are because they keep changing what people do. This is the kind of place that constantly reminds you they're a start up and expect you to be ok with them not actively making changes. I haven't had any proper training in health care but am expected to act as an expert. I hate having to lie to customers about my knowledge but it's part of the job description. It's a 'blind leading the blind' kind of office and there isn't anyone to look up to for support. Upper management has taken many employees on multiple occasions to hang out privately and drink or smoke, but will try to pretend that the company culture is more serious when they need it to be. It's an incredibly confusing place to be and I cannot wait for new employment.

Pros

Excellent opportunity for a Business Major to get his/her hands dirty in a start up environment and really have a hand in multiple business units as a company grows. The work life balance is exceptional, and management has a very hands off approach to letting employees manage their own time and projects. Everything can be an adventure since there are no strict standards set in place or preconceived notions of how things should be done. Employees have a lot of creative liberty and freedom and your success is in your own hands for the most part. The company is constantly evolving and there are new needs that must be met on a regular basis because of those changes. Definitely putting my degree/previous management skills to work in multiple capacities.

Cons

It's a start up, so of course there are no established rules or standard operating procedures. It's a flat org hierarchy which is DEFINITELY not for everyone. There is also quite a bit of role ambiguity since the company is so new. All of the issues I have faced are a result of growing pains which are inevitable to a certain extent as companies grow to scale. The company is by no means perfect but I don't think they pretend that they are.
