Pros

My fellow employees and the work

Cons

Executive leaderships' forced micromanagement on all employees is killing the morale they claim to want to foster. Most of us want to do great work but you can't call us salaried employees if you only want to exploit that designation, but not give us the dignity other companies do. Leadership has structured the standards of a 'salaried' position to their benefit, not the employees by monitoring and enforcing working 'time' (time in office physically) and scrutinizing breaks. Overtime is expected, but don't expect to get time back. 40 or more hours is the standard without the dignity typical salary positions provide. This paired with the increased pressure to standardize against standards that do not exist makes no sense and creates a high stress on boarding process for new employees.

Pros

Been here a while and glad I stuck it out. Things have gotten a lot better with new leaders and so far they've done a pretty good job changing things. Its definitely going in the right direction and we're hiring some really great people. The HR lady and the new managers seem to care about the people here. I hope they stick with it long enough to make all the positive changes they talk about. Benefits are really good plus we get a ton of PTO. Be nice to stay a while and see how this turns out.

Cons

Still a lot of baggage to work through especially with some of the people who have been here a really long time. I like my team but the complaining about the good old days is lame. It's 2026 people, just move on and deal with it. Things have changed everywhere. We're lucky to have ANY remote days. The micromanagement is still kinda demoralizing but my manager is cool so it doesn't really affect me. It's a drag that some people had to make it hard for the rest of us. Hopefully they'll see that we're all doing the right things now and reward that more.
