Pros

Easy transition to WFH Education reimbursement

Cons

***High*** turn over rate. Some people just need to get out of there for their own mental health...or be fired because you can't keep up with impossible metrics. Literally unachievable goals, even lower management says metrics are impossible to meet, but executives don't seem to care. Why would they care? Lack of effort on technology development. No advancement unless you're buddy with the team lead or your parents and/or spouse are executives; undeniable favoritism. Experience and skills replaced by those that don't question anything (why even bother questioning a process when no matter what you say, it's wrong?) Management lacks compassion on work overload but this is most likely due to higher management looking at nothing but numbers alongside unattainable goals. Taking a sick day, God forbid more than 1 in a row is fround upon. Leads to questioning of character integrity, disapproval and negative perception by management. Customer, customer, customer... NEVER employees :( Major Con: With current demutualization in the works, there is literally no concern for current employees as the focus is reducing all costs as much as possible at the expense of overworked front line employees. Mutual policy holders are the ONLY ones that will benefit from this even though non policy holding employees are severely pressured because of this. Again, money over it all. Don't let too many recent positive reviews fool you, this is all being monitored prior to IPO in order drive up stock price.

Pros

Here's something fun: Petline hasn't launched yet but they've already made me a better pet-parent. Now certainly, "become a better pet-parent" wasn't one of my goals when I accepted the role, but I've been surprised a few times by my personal growth since I joined the team. On career goals I'll say this: to the credit of the management team at Petline, they've recognized talents and areas I where I thrive before I did. I've been given opportunities that I didn't expect and for which I am deeply grateful. Back to pet-parenting, Petline is a startup and every person at this company is heavily committed to our mission and goals. Just working alongside like-minded folks has made me consider who I am as a pet-parent. I know my pets better than I did before and I know they are happier for it. Petline won't always be a startup, but I'm confident that as we move forward it will be with integrity and the intention to foster an environment where individual strengths are recognized, and weaknesses are supported.

Cons

Petline is a startup and anyone familiar with the concept should know that it takes hard work, a lot of brainpower, and constant flexibility. It can be hard to accept and frustrating when business decisions seem to flow and change like water, but it's rewarding. It might not be for right for everyone, but when it's right, it's right.
