Pros

From the outside it's a great company that "cares" about it's employees. Great pay and benefits. Friendly team members.

Cons

Extremely high turn over rates due to poor management. They lose a lot of good employees due to poor senior management. Upper management does not address ongoing issues or concerns brought to their attention. There is absolutely NO training for new employees and they are setup for failure from day one. Employees are lacking resources needed to be successful, but managers don't seem to care. Management has an attitude consistent with, YOU owe them for doing you a favor and hiring you. By working here you can expect to be thrown into a situation without resources and tools needed to succeed. Expect to work long hours with no work life balance due to large workloads/volume and being understaffed. Internal departments don't communicate with each other and mediocrity seems to be consistently rewarded. There is no clear career path or professional development available.

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.
