Pros

Busy, days go by quickly. Most locations are out of major cities so traffic to work is typically light. Monday - Friday schedule. Lower level employees see the black and white policy book as a pro but management sees it as a con as it discourages any out of the box thinking. Decent pay. Good ESPP Program and stock prices are rising.

Cons

Poor communication from upper management. No free thinking and does not promote employees ideas even though they try to put in efforts to do so. New "promote employee programs" consistently fail due to lack of buy-in from the executive team. They do not believe in what they are trying to sell to its employees, and many times thinks it is a waste of time. If you are in sales you must be able to drink with the bosses, if you are not a drinker and not extremely social it is hard to get in their click. They like to promote people to management because they are hard workers but often times promote those without leadership skills. To be seen as someone who is considered to be promotable you have to be "on of the guys" and keep up with their social activities.

Pros

Work from home. Things are constantly changing. Positions open up but manager has to approve you and put your name out there.

Cons

My manager was very unhelpful when my position as a team lead was eliminated. I've been here 5 years plus before COVID and I'm back to square one. I feel there should have been a back up plan for us. They want you now to do the work that a lead does but for absolutely no more money.
