Pros

Decent benefits and fringe benefits Training has improved Annual consideration for promotion and merit increase, bonuses

Cons

The workload can be unbearable if you are a competent employee, and there is no relief in sight as there is lack of transparency around things like hiring freezes. Those who do not pull their weight are allowed to skate by, for the most part, while others pick up the slack. Leadership is incredibly disconnected from those who are doing the labor, which has only gotten worse as physical offices continue to close. They push back on ideas that are new unless they thought of it, you happen to be from the right legacy organization, or a male employee suggests it. Unpaid overtime cannot be the only solution to every problem. Especially when combined with blaming everything on staff taking PTO.

Pros

The actual work can be fun but everything else ruins it.

Cons

Condescending management and leadership. They constantly change their minds every day; one day they will want something done one way, the next something completely different and be condescending acting like you should read their minds. Upper management is very much into micromanaging. The company culture is toxic. And the company is basically the next thing to failing. Private Equity will likely cash in on their debt at some point and shut it down. Non stop unannounced layoffs.
