Pros

The pay was good at the time (unsure what it's up to now) and having a set schedule was nice for planning things. Quarterly bonuses and protected time off in case of emergencies were also a bonus.

Cons

The management there was mostly not helpful. Some days you'd barely see one of the Coaches (managers). If you did see them they usually showed up to complain about something, so seeing them became a negative. They took delegating way too seriously. Moving up is saved for brown nosers or people management knows from outside the company.

Pros

At the corporate level, the benefits and compensation are excellent. Colleagues at the producer level are standout teammates, talented, collaborative, and genuinely invested in the company's success. They consistently bring forward meaningful contributions and make the day-to-day work rewarding.

Cons

"Chaos" is not a word I'm using loosely. It's the word echoed across teams, including outside of Experience and Product. Leadership operates in a constant state of upheaval: frequent role changes, structural reorganizations, and strategy pivots that are implemented without any clear plan or consideration of cross-team impact. Incredibly talented people are let go as a result of poor leadership and people management decisions. There is no real culture of mentorship above the senior manager level. Leadership above the senior manager level made clear that mentorship isn't their responsibility and that you're expected to figure it out on your own, despite the company having training resources available. That disconnect is telling.
