Pros

Free parking and lots of restaurants close by. The owner Mike is a very nice guy. Nichole and Patrick are good bosses to work for and encourage open dialogue.

Cons

The COO is the worst leader I’ve ever worked for. She’s an ego maniac who micromanages every part of the business. She wants employees to “act like an owner” yet treats everyone like they are an intern. You have to CC your manager on every email you send- it’s that bad. The processes are piecemealed together with no forethought for how certain parts of the business effect others. You are encouraged to ask questions and give feedback but at the end of the day, if it’s not Teresa’s idea, it’s not going to be implemented. She will push back on any idea offered so it’s quickly understood there’s no point to suggest changes. Not to mention she sends emails out telling employees to wipe their desks down with Lysol wipes and to praise herself on how she handled client interactions. The pay is decent but honestly all the extra BS isn’t worth it. When I turned in my 2 week notice (which was requested per their policy) I was immediately dismissed without pay. If I was a problem employee I could have understood doing this as I could have been disgruntled. I really wasn’t. The month prior I was given a bonus for my “exemplary performance”. I was dismissed without pay because Teresa is spiteful and petty. Pass on any interview offered for this job unless you enjoy working for an inefficient, unethical, and poorly managed company.

This individual worked for us less than 6 months. She had a long commute, which we repeatedly expressed concerns about. We were honest in the interviewing process that our business model was not designed for a remote workforce. She assured us the commute was not a problem. It quickly became a problem. After just a few short months, the commute became too much and the employee requested to work from home. The request was denied. The individual resigned, she was not dismissed. The personal insults are unnecessary and unprofessional.

Pros

Maple Street is not for lazy people. If you like to take short cuts and you have a lackadaisical attitude towards hard work, and a lack of ambition to grow to challenge yourself than this company is probably not for you. However, if you like to work hard, and you like to be recognized for your hard work this may well be the company for you. This is a small company but don't let its size mislead you. There is opportunity for growth. Besides becoming a subject matter expert related to vendor compliance, I also learned how to manage, people, projects and clients. You are empowering financial institutions that serve their community. The company also encourages you to give back to your community, for example, they make blankets for a children center that treats abused children. The company invests into your professional growth and training. They sponsor their employees to pursue certifications and attend seminars so they can become subject matter experts in their fields. The vacation perks around the big holidays are unbeatable. Additionally, it also helps that company's President and CEO are world class leaders with unparalleled vision and leadership skills.

Cons

There is none if you like to work hard and take pride in your work.
