Pros

- Fringe, medical/dental, flexible time off, tons of holiday time off (if you are outside of an hourly operations role), - People really care - some bleed Whatnot yellow - Transparency - Opportunities to grow in your space and expand your skills - Fun work environment - The CEO's and VP team are understanding and take the time to listen - Work life balance is important - however it will be your responsibility to manage your work and speak up if you need support

Cons

- Its a start-up that moves fast which means you need to work and produce results. If you struggle with working independently in a WFH enviro, you won't likely make it - If you aren't good at time management, or if you struggle with saying you dont have the bandwidth to manage - then you'll struggle - Things are changing for the better, but many managers who have been here for a while are struggling to accept the sharp turns - be prepared to manage your manager

Pros

Good healthcare and good benefits.

Cons

Increasingly corporate culture Benefits slowly being rolled back every year Must use PTO for any holidays you want off as Ops agent/specialist Utter lack of leadership. Revolving door of managers because they refuse to promote internally for years Repetitive, dull work Toxic work culture. Very petty people in management who don’t accept anything but yes men Virtually no training established and hardly any SOPs written. What little there are of both are very poorly executed (aka people brand new to the work doing the training) No upward mobility whatsoever Arbitrary pay scales and performance reviews not necessarily aligned with performance or tenure. Disclaimer: experience entirely dependent on what team you’re on. Avoid T&R like the plague.
