Pros
The people and the CEO are truly what make this company special. I’ve never worked with a more supportive, hardworking, and fun group of people. Even during stressful times, there was always laughter, teamwork, and a sense that everyone genuinely cared about each other. Leadership is passionate and deeply invested in the company, and you can feel how much heart has gone into building the business and culture. I learned a lot during my 5 years here and had opportunities to wear many hats, grow professionally, and build strong relationships. These are all people I will love and know for life, and that comes directly from the CEO.
Leadership also understands when people need time to recharge and was supportive of taking PTO (which is unlimitted) and prioritizing personal matters. It's very much an environment of as long as the work gets done, that's all that matters. Take the time! Plus, the health benefits are very good, and leadership takes into account any grievances you may have with benefits.
I also loved the RoastGPOs, where you get to go on company-sponsored coffee dates, and the holiday parties. Don't be fooled by the fully remote company; they are all very connected.
I honestly couldn't recommend HostGPO more. You will move fast, learn a lot, and end every day feeling accomplished and supported.
Cons
Just like any job, the fast-paced environment can sometimes lead to long hours, high workloads, and shifting priorities. Just know your limit, and tell the team - they actually listen and will help!
