Pros

Smart, engaged, hardworking and (most of all) empathetic colleagues. Management/executives truly listen to feedback and change how they act based on what their front line employees are seeing. Up to and including Stewart.

Cons

You will struggle here if you're not fungible/adaptable. We're still growing super quickly so you have to be ready for your org, team, and function to change and for processes to be constantly changed as we scale.
