Vantaggi
Quite frankly, there is no better work environment that one can be lucky enough a part of, and that's why I become so braggadocios whenever I get asked about what I do. We get lunch paid for every day at the office (and dinner as well if you're working the later support shift), we have a budget for snacks and amenities that the vast majority of other places simply don't provide, and we have regular company-sponsored happy hours that let everyone unwind and become tighter as a team in the process. A ping pong table doubles as our conference table. If you close your eyes, you can just about picture the quintessential startup. We are a company that is about building on the great things that have already been accomplished while pushing the envelope to stay innovative at the same time, and as a result we're one of the fastest growing private companies in the entire country (named by Inc. as the 90th fastest growing private company in the US in 2016). That's something I feel proud of and will continue to as we keep building and challenge other competitors in the industry. It is an extremely thoughtful approach to hire new members of the team because of how delicate a process it is to find employees that are not only qualified for the role that they're hired to do, but also how well the incumbent members of the team feels a prospective employee will fit in within our culture. That's not to say it's anything but an inclusive environment, here, but we know what kind of personalities will fit the job description. At the end of the day, we all have each other's back at TickPick, LLC, and that support has fostered an excellent place to walk into each and every day of work.
Svantaggi
Being that we're a business that never truly sleeps (live events are happening all around us nearly every waking hour of every day in the Continental US and Canada), there are some odd hours and shifts that need coverage (within reason). This is something that has been mitigated as we've an increase in staff size and will only become less of an issue for everybody as they put in their time in times ahead to get the ideal schedule for them. While working some holidays obviously isn't ideal, they're more than fair here about divvying it up.
