Pros

Good health benefits and compensation

Cons

There are number of Cons and here are just a few: 1. The technology does not work or wanted - a solution chasing a problem 2. Executive management (in particular the Co-Founders who are brother & sister) are impossible to work for. They are so rich from a company sale (one trick ponies) that no one else's opinion matters and if you get on their bad side for the smallest of issue you are dead to them and eventually fired. They cycle quickly through salespeople in particular. 3. The office is is a dump/ there is no proper A/C and it is literally a sweat box in the summer To cap it off they also publish a fake magazine recognizing the top heads of sales when in fact it is just a marketing ploy. The CEO seems like a good guy but the Co-Founders (CEO is married to Co-Founder as well ) run the show not him.

Pros

I think the company 's pretty lucky to have hired resilient and skilled employees.

Cons

I'll say that overall, Collective's management is ridiculously cheap! From our pay and benefits, company equipments and supplies, to every little thing we see and use were paid at the cheapest price! But everyone and everything were overused and abused until they breakdown and that includes the people!
