FNST feels like a small family company, but operates with the resources of a multibillion-dollar company!

Pros

The bar for excellence is very high - you will not find people here who are fine with "good enough." Also, the sky is the limit for people who want to do a great job; growth opportunities are constantly made available to employees. Work/life balance is great, too.

Cons

Every company has its challenges, and FNST is no exception. But, there are no glaring weaknesses or downsides to working here, as far as I am concerned. This is the best company I have worked for in my career.

Pros

They have put in a lot of measures to make employees feel welcomed and valued to the organization. There are growth opportunities as well as some great benefits. They have a medical clinic onsite and do a lot of employee activities that a lot of companies have cut out of their budget.

Cons

There are always opportunities for improvement, no company is perfect.
