Pros

CareerPlug offers great benefits such as unlimited PTO, employer paid health insurance, and 401k match. There are amazing people who work at CareerPlug, and I looked forward to working with my coworkers everyday. There's also free snacks and free lunches frequently. When my position/team was dissolved, higher management was very supportive and offered assistance in several ways which isn’t always the case in these situations. Overall company culture is fun, driven, and laidback yet hardworking.

Cons

The quote "people quit their management, not their companies" applied to my experience at CareerPlug. CareerPlug overall is a great and hardworking company that I enjoyed contributing to, but there were issues with management that was detrimental to my work experience and environment. For the majority of my employment, I did not receive professional development or genuine support/check-ins from direct management. Even after bringing my concerns and painpoints were escalated, it was never directly addressed or appropriately handled. I have never had a job drive me to the point of tears until I worked here. The morale on my team severely dropped which was acknowledged, but also never appropriately handled. Another con was lack of growth in terms of position and salary - despite positive performance reviews, I never received a pay raise during my 2 years there and there was no room for promotion.
