Pros

When I was there, management wasn't breathing down my neck much. Maybe I was lucky, but it was very easy to get hired. The pay was okay at first.

Cons

Your pay is pretty much locked in based on how much you get paid when you are hired. A 3% raise per year. Don't even bother trying to argue with HR or management about it. This company is poorly managed from basically every angle. There are a few supervisors or middle managers who are actually trying, most are just buzzword parroting sycophants who barely know what is going on. They do not follow their own values that they tote about and they will lay you off for no reason, even if every performance review you have ever had has been perfect.

Our intent has always been to invest in our people and help them grow, and we expect strong performance, accountability, and professionalism in return. We benchmark compensation regularly and are proud that our pay, engagement scores, and retention consistently compare favorably to industry norms. While there are times when difficult business decisions must be made, those decisions are approached thoughtfully and with respect for the individuals involved. We remain committed to supporting development, improving how we operate, and building a workplace where people who want to contribute and grow can do meaningful work. Steve Dawson, CEO

Pros

-Good PTO -Great Employee Benefits

Cons

Asking for your loved ones death certificate after you already provided one form of documentation. Also being asked for further proof while you are grieving so that you can get your bereavement pay. It's happened to multiple people. It is not professional. Or respectful. Not even necessary according to our company handbook 2025

Thank you for your candid feedback; I am deeply sorry to hear that our bereavement process added any stress during a time of loss, as that is never our intent. That said, it is a difficult and often thankless balance for our HR team to maintain; they are tasked with the complex priority of upholding consistent business procedures and fair audits while simultaneously trying to be a compassionate resource for our people. We will continue to work on refining that balance so our team feels supported without sacrificing the professional diligence the business requires. Steve Dawson, CEO
