Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

We have created a culture that thrives on meetings. It is not unusual to have 6-10 meetings every day. The company moves extremely fast and sometimes I feel like I can't do my best work in this environment. Instead of giving 100% to my work, 90% is usually acceptable.

As an exempt employee, I am trusted to do what it takes to get my job done, even if that means adjusting my work schedule on occasion.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I enjoy having both vacation and sick time allotted to me each year. The method of having one PTO bucket creates an environment where employees come to work sick, won't use time off for their mental health or for preventive health screenings.
