      Pros

      The company growth allows everyone to find something interesting to do.

      Cons

      On the other hand, you usually hit your head against countless planning meetings and layers of management before being able to do some actual work.

      Pros

      Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

      Cons

      Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
