Pros

- Garfield provides a great work-life balance; work stays at work. - Account Managers and those in customer facing roles can experience limited growth through title changes and slight adjustments to responsibilities. (although opportunities beyond that are minimal) - The Garfield team is generally enjoyable to work with. - The company is ideal for those prioritizing stability in their career. - Good benefits (outside of PTO) and justifiable compensation given its size and very niche industry.

Cons

- The company is hindered by typical small business challenges, including a lack of formal and updated processes/OPA's and resource constraints. - The office layout and siloed roles can lead to challenges in cross-department collaboration, occasionally resulting in miscommunication and a clique-like culture (problematic for a small company). - Weak organizational team mentality. - There is a passive approach in leadership style, which avoids micromanagement but can sometimes result in a perceived lack of organizational control and direction. - Lacks a future state vision, it is primarily status quo driven. - The PTO policy is lackluster compared to other opportunities in the city, making it non-competitive. - The company's structure and focus may not align with highly ambitious career growth. Note: These things may have changed since my tenure and are subjective to certain roles within the company.
