Pros

Relaxed work environment Lots of turnover so there is always room to grow.

Cons

Very disorganized at all levels of the business. Below is just on my experience working with their data. If you work in data don't work here unless you have no other options. Their tech stack is 7 years old and is a complete mess. There is no organization among their tables, incredibly hard to understand their table structures and get basic pieces of info. You should not need to do 5-7 joins to get answers to basic order questions. If you have any questions about the data(integrity) or need to understand their ETL process you have to work with their EDW team, who is a complete disaster and has no organization. They use tableau which is a fine tool to pretty much just display excel sheets, a complete waste of an excellent product. Weekly fire drills from management completely disrupting the work flow of other issues they have requested. Once complete there are questions on why other projects have not been completed. Little understanding on the difficulty of some of their requests. Few actual analysts among the managers who manage the analytical teams, so there is little understanding of how work gets done in this field.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
