Lots of Exposure but Mediocre Compensation - Analyst Balsam Brands Employee Review

Pros

-Company Visibility: There are many opportunities to represent your team and be part of the decision making process for complex issues that may be typical beyond entry-level positions -Company Culture: All that is said about the company's culture really is true, coworkers are extremely friendly and they care about your professional life as well as your personal one. They're willing to help and answer questions, something that is often taken for granted -Autonomy: There is a lot of autonomy because managers trust the work you do and it allows for better time and project management -Busy Season Perks: The peak holiday periods are full of stress and increased work hours, but the company really does try to make it more manageable with it's holiday perks such as free coffee and massages

Cons

-Mediocre Compensation: There are no annual bonuses or equity and the company's attempt to only hire in Boise or in Manila highlights their unwillingness to pay competitive wages for Bay Area standards. The company's efforts to provide good benefits is honorable but seems to be a distraction from its poor base pay. -Subjective promotion scale: The promotion scale is based primarily on soft skills and leaves a lot of run for subjectivity.

Pros

Hours are good most of the time

Cons

Terrible attitude from most of the department heads, owner, and CEO’s. It’s a very entitled and clique like atmosphere and it can be hard to find your place.
