Pros

The atmosphere is pleasant only due to good teammates.

Cons

We were mis-informed about the positions we would be working. We are currently in the same dissatisfied boat under leadership of poor management with no sight of rescue, other than quitting. Boca / Cary "life and shift" team management seems to be chosen on the basis of brown-nosing, not on actual work experience or knowledge. Repetitive work, no chance for growth, daily annoyance of the new-to- the -area self-centered, competitive yet poor sport of a manager boasting mundane details about her life in order to gain acceptance from her reportees, although no one truly cares to hear it. Employees were warned early that we "haven't seen the worst of this manager yet" . Complete disregard for you if you are not like the manager. Leave quickly if you have the chance- there are better companies and better managers elsewhere to work for.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
