Pros

Great work-life balance with flexible hours. We help people around the globe earn a living, so that they can support themselves, and their families. It feels good knowing that you work for a company with an honorable purpose.

Cons

In order to get a raise or promotion you have to fight for it versus being recognized and rewarded for your efforts. It's disheartening when you work so hard, and put in so much to not be given the reward deserved, but instead will only get something if you have to continuously fight for it.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
