Pros

PTO policy is solid when paired with warm shut downs days.

Cons

No one in executive leadership knows what’s going on or how to fix it. The things that made this company one of the best places to work in Kentucky for many years are slowly getting stripped away. WFH slowly being rolled back, sales commission getting worse every single year, on site cantina gone, the sales goal that is needed to be hit in order to open the beer fridge is constantly set out of reach. A sinking ship that is taking on water. Would not recommend to anyone.

Pros

The brand is amazing and you can see remnants of fun that used to make this place unique like the beer fridge and minimal hierarchy. They have decent time off when shutdowns are included.

Cons

The current CEO waffles between crying in town halls to screaming at teams in morning stand up meetings then sending emails about how various people and teams are the best she has ever worked with. You never know which mood you will get. Sales goals are not achievable and layoffs are frequent. Long-time employees avoid promotion because they want to survive so they have to keep bringing in outside management and then they either fire them or they leave often in under a year.
