Pros

The every day contributors are great down to earth people who genuinely care and would do anything for you. Benefits are decent and 401k match is above the market average.

Cons

They claim to be pay for performance but pay only at management up. If your entry level get ready for long days and minuscule raises due to them not backfilling and office politics. When your manager can sit there look you in the eye say, “you raised your own bar year over year and it will tough for you to accomplish as much as you did last year.” Then hand you a raise cut in half year over year and a bonus cut in half. It’s a real shame because this company use to take care of the every day contributors. Management wants you to set all these absurd goals and tells you they want to help expand your career. Then when you ask to job shadow your request is ultimately denied because your the only one capable of doing duties or running a system. Managers should want their employees to move up the corporate ladder but most seem to scared to put in a good word for you because they don’t like the attention.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
