Pros
-Hard work is recognized and rewarded
-The entire staff is supportive and friendly. The company stresses its sense of community, and it felt like I was very much a member of a cohesive team
-As an intern I was given enough autonomy to get experience with self directed work. I worked directly with the founder quite a bit and she paid attention to my personal abilities to properly gear how much to prescribe versus let me do on my own.
-Gave me a better picture of the inner workings of a small business. I've had other internships where it felt like I was just doing tasks for a supervisor at a company I didn't really know. Lifebound feels much more transparent. I learned more about other positions/jobs within the company. This is partially because of how much everyone works together at all levels, and also because its an honest and welcoming company culture
-Beautiful and charming office space
-Enthusiastic and mission driven leader
Cons
-Lots of working together can be a con for some people. Collaboration is a big deal and if you prefer to do everything on your own then it might not be a great place for you
-It's a small company. It's not as easy to climb an entire career latter at one place unless you're at a larger organization
