Pros

Good benefits and work flexibility with time off, etc.

Cons

After the reorg almost 2 years ago, this company applies broad strategy and general goals to all departments rather than allowing for autonomy and individualism. Currently, all initiatives are based around building AI tools and focusing on DEI practices, rather than pushing for individual sales growth. It feels like we are just all cogs in a wheel with forced common directives that don't contribute to our personal success or commission - all while overall sales have drastically decreased. The company used to be great and allowed for smaller pods of teams to thrive and work as units that encouraged competition and stronger relationship building. This allowed employees to feel more connected to their work, empowered, and excited about working together to create unique strategies and increase sales.

Pros

Some nice intelligent educated coworkers

Cons

Lack of transperancy, job placement wages stagnant for over 5 years with no raise, after finishing multiple contracts and bringing them thousands of dollars with my labor, no follow up on new positions. Finally contacted me about one position I would be perfect for then ghosted me. Blatant ageism using words like "junior" or "great position for recent grad". Had one horrific experience with them where they reached out to me to work on a team that loved me/loved my work - when I inquired if there was any flexibility in the pay, was suddenly told I wasn't qualified. Then I see the same listing reposted as "junior" and great for a recent grad.
