Pros

Work from home anytime I chose. Able to take off and use PTO whenever needed Decent Insurance and HSA

Cons

Leadership focuses on acquisitions and shutting out the competition instead of growing current employees. Team leaders are profit hungry and hold positions behind a laundry list of checklists. Pay raises are almost non existent, this year there was a 75 cent raise and I was told to be grateful I got a raise. Got told that I could not advance in my position because I lacked technical ability but they wanted me to train the incoming employees

Pros

- Quiet workplace environment - Relatively stable work (team dependent) - Can be a decent place to work depending on your needs/ wants

Cons

Overall, here is a summary of the company: - Some good teams- the company has some stronger departments, whereas others are not well supported in the organization - Poor benefits and compensation, slow progression/ no progression of salary, no yearly adjustments, no sick leave - Cross-team communication & collaboration were consistently very unorganized; each team is operating on very different managerial practices - The environment radiates the low-budget, value-engineered work that the company largely takes on, in terms of personalities within the office, as well as overall company morale. This will work for you if you value the stability it provides, but it will be difficult to advance in this organization if you aren't in alignment.
