Pros
Working with food and having an "in" with great restaurants in your city. You will meet many influential individuals in your community, but keep them close! You'll need their help once your time with Dishcrawl is over.
Cons
Dishcrawl's headquarters basks in many advantages the remote employees don't have access to, the main advantage being a team to lean on and work with. As an ambassador of your city you: do it all. Promote your events (while you're planning them), schedule meetings with restaurants, media etc, print all of your own materials, host events, process payments, troubleshoot, placate unhappy customers and restaurant partners (it happens occasionally) all of this with little support from the San Jose team. It's a ton of work, and it can be fun, but it's mostly stressful. Don't expect to have a colleague-type relationship with them, they are far too busy to ask how you are or bother to get to know you beyond your face on a webcam. There's a big disconnect happening there. To elaborate on the office climate, the San Jose team enjoys lunches, parties, vacations and field trips while you sit back and look at the pictures of their fun on Facebook, or hear all about it from them while you chat online. The girls in the office enjoy nail painting parties and love bringing their pets to work most days (don't believe me? View the photos they chose to upload here on glassdoor). It's hardly an atmosphere conducive to getting serious work done and it makes you wonder how they can work in a petting zoo. The CEO has big ideas and big aspirations but lacks follow through while her demeanor consistently lacks professionalism and airs of contrived jubilation which has rubbed off on most of her surrounding team. If you're a member of the San Jose team, Dishcrawl is very good to you, evidentiary by reviews on this site. However, remote employees are made to feel pretty dispensable while the office rewards itself for your hard work. The company appears to be going through big changes, however. They no longer have full time employees, the layoffs came a week or so before Christmas (if that wasn't bad enough, layoffs came a few weeks after one employee relocated and transferred across country... how thoughtful!) I would be wary of their job listings if I were you. At least wait a few years to see if they can get their act together.
