Pros

Fully remote, good benefits like unlimited PTO (if you can take it) and little to no micromanaging on the side of the org I worked in which makes you feel trusted and not treated like a child. People are friendly. I enjoyed my team. But upper management is destroying the culture.

Cons

The company got a new CEO in 2024 and he is taking the culture away from the company. People seem a lot more stressed/pressured less happy to work there, they have made a ton of staffing cuts/lay-offs over the last year or so. Pay is not up to par, they don't give many wage increases and when they do it's small, they're not hitting sales quotas, insurance plans skyrocketed and they're having a lot of turnover in the sales department. Not much diversity within the company. They have halted most hiring and made recent lay-offs, which indicates things are not going well for them. Also got a new HR person within the last 6 months who is very cold, rude and isn't very knowledgeable in the position, she is snippy and gives out a lot of incorrect information.
