Pros
Etsy has been a literal dream! I started out as a contractor and they sent me a bouquet of gorgeous flowers to start and I didn’t feel like a contractor, and in general contractors are treated like the FTE’s. Etsy aligns with my values of not being mircomanaged, health being of utmost importance, and living a balanced life. For the first time I feel valued truly and like my team and manager want me to grow. I’m honestly surprised that the world isn’t as aware of how great Etsy is a company to work for, but I’m glad I’m able to find that out for myself!
Cons
I would’ve liked a higher salary, but the benefits and company culture and possibility for promotion and raises make it worth it. I can see myself continuing to grow as a person and professional with this company.
