Pros
Getting the opportunity to work with the most talented, kind, funny, and driven team in the business. We are truly building a community within youth sports and we're doing it together. The leadership team truly values people & culture. We are constantly iterating on our policies and benefits to ensure we're building a culture of inclusion. We never want people to feel like they have to choose between their families at home and their work family. We also know we don't always get it right, but we are committed to continuing to do better and be better personally and professionally. It's truly rare to see this type of approach in a startup that's growing as quickly as we are. I feel privileged to be a part of our community.
Cons
We don't always get it right. We're all learning. Sometimes you have to advocate fiercely for what's important to you. Whether that's personal development, budget to support an initiative you believe in, or additional headcount to grow your department. As long as you have the data to support what you're asking for a present it in a way in which leaders understand, you are ensured a listening ear. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it.
