Pros

- Meeting a market need - High growth Seemingly committed to benefits/ flexibility (but this is more talk than action in my experience)...so make sure to ask questions about work/life balance as this varies from team to team. If you are sales-oriented, this may be a good place for you. This is a sales driven organization, NOT a product driven one.

Cons

There is no doubt DailyPay is fitting a need in the market. The current payroll system (typically operating on a bi-weekly schedule) can leave hourly or lower-income workers in a bind when sudden financial needs arise. However, examine the incentives of this kind of product...in order for DailyPay to make $, workers need to be cash poor. That statement may sound black and white, as I know they have other promoted products regarding savings, budgeting, etc. But they make money off of need. At least in their current state. Other cons include: - Not a start up culture, very finance/ investment banking culture given that is where a lot of the leadership started their careers - Competitive environment - Very 'in office' culture, not necessarily covid-conscious policies - Equity/ stock option plans are a black box, try to do your own research and ask good questions before accepting a job here

Pros

-Pay -Some of the benefits -Office soft-drinks and snacks

Cons

Mismatch between stated company values and internal culture. Employee well-being is not a priority, despite the internal claims of a commitment to it. DailyPay is a true corporate environment in all the worst ways: men get away with bad, unprofessional behavior for far too long, and leaders in the company in general are cultivated to be micromanagers who do not trust the employees they hired and do not create an environment of trust in their team. In less than a year after my hiring, my boss was forced out for reportedly bullying a team member. His replacement (who was one of his earliest hires and who led the charge for junior members to report him to HR] was put in his place and turned the ante up on controlling, boundary-crossing, routine dishonesty, backstabbing, and bullying behavior on the team. Its less like a workplace and more like a bad season of Succession/Survivor.
