Pros

Young, friendly, fun, my direct manager and everyone I work with directly has been great to work with

Cons

Little/no progression for the marketing team, with no fixed plan/structure put in place and lack of priority placed on personal growth and progression. While working there, it felt like there was a lack of respect for the marketing department; many of us are overworked, underpaid, and under a lot of stress. A few major changes which were brought up to senior management often did not come into effect, even after being promised so. At times, it feels like senior management cares more about making money and company success than their employees.

Pros

I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone looking to get into Sales and/or Marketing Operations. The job is very rewarding and I can not say enough good things about the CEO, the Sales Director, and the Operations Directors. They all make it easy to want to work hard and help the clients generate some amazing new opportunities for their business'. 1. The work life balance is excellent, and I never felt like I was working more hours than I should have been. 2. The culture that's been developed is extremely inclusive and inviting, with great incentives planned (gotta put in the work though to go on those, of course). 3. Uncapped commission means you have the power to determine your own income, and the base salary that comes with is a nice added bonus. 4. Management could not be more supportive, I have never met a group of people who want to see their colleagues succeed more than the StraightIn Execs. Moreover, they are beyond helpful when you need help or clarification with anything. 5. There is very quick opportunity for advancement early in your career at StraightIn, and you are supported along the way until you achieve that. 6. The US office is rapidly growing, and this is a fantastic place to work if you want to be part of something that's going to keep growing year after year.

Cons

The only Con I can really think of is the fact that if you work in the Chicago office, upper management is located in the UK so you do not see them often, which is a shame.
