Pros

a month of vacation is decent. you can be dead weight and float through your career there if you want. if you're lucky your boss will be remote and lack of oversight will counterbalance the inane crap coming out of monroe.

Cons

leadership is drowning in the alligator petting zoo that is monroe. health insurance is spendy. lots of dead weight lifers. pace of stuff is glacial. better to do nothing than do something and make a mistake. facilities and morale in the crapper. management probably priming the joint for a sale. i hate the color green now.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
