Pros

Acceptable Pay & Benefits.

Cons

A (now ex) coworker was a good worker: he got good performance reviews, was a good teammate who helped out other employees, and just generally cared about the company and the work he did. He showed up one day and they fired him. No real reason. The owner just didn't like him. This guy has a family to support and had no idea this was coming, Sadly, this is not a lone occurrence at CBT Nuggets. Lots of good employees have been let go without any warning for no good reason. There is literally no job security here. Even people who like risk will find the turnover here just too high. Definitely not worth it. The communication here is terrible. They’re great about letting you know the lunch menu or what kind of coffee is in the maker, but important information is left to trickle through the grapevine, like a particularly annoying game of telephone. But this is not surprising, the owner acts like a child for whom the company is one big game.

Pros

Excellent benefits - 5 weeks PTO annually, free healthcare for your whole family, 401k matching Fully remote workforce Regular bonus awarded through profit sharing Casual culture, work hard play hard type of vibe You can get a lot of experience on a number of projects or collaborative work with other teams

Cons

Not a great place for people who need really structured management or tasks - you need to be self-motivated enough to get things done quickly as a remote worker, and be responsible and driven enough to be able to figure stuff out on your own as it's very trimmed-down on the management and operations side. Don't work here if you're not comfortable with shifting priorities - we work fast to try new things and pivot quickly as needed.

Pros

Remote, team before everyone was let go.

Cons

Fear culture, no communication or rather, some manipulation. No collaboration amongst other teams.
