Pros

Building has tons of natural light and you don’t feel caged in like some offices with high cubicles.

Cons

Absolutely everything else. Burt White has literally put in writing that he hates what Carson stands for and that he made a mistake accepting his position, which further proves people’s point that he’s fake and gives nothing but lip service. People who get promoted are often given those raises because they’re close friends with someone on the executive team, and painfully showcase how inept and lazy they are. The amount of stolen PTO from at least two managers is insane. Directors look away. All the perks that made Carson great when I started are long gone. Pretty sure they’re gunning hard to go public, so everyone who’d been loyal for years/decades are suffering the fallout. Layoffs, pay cuts, perks gone, and hiring/promotion freezes (unless you’re right with an exec), etc… In addition to all that, they have a sexual harassment and termination discrimination lawsuit on their hands. That alone should tell you what kind of company this is now.

Pros

Solid business model and strong growth in recent years.

Cons

Toxic culture with tons of personal politics. Leadership’s behavior is straight out of Mean Girls and people are let go for little to no reason. Everyone is walking on eggshells as a result because it’s a moving target and you never know who’s next. Also, pay is very low compared to others.
