Pros

Salaried position, Benefits offered, Execs talk about former employees, Good Work is Rewarded

Cons

Salaried position (meaning you will be asked to work weekends, without pay, for job responsibilities that are not your own), Benefits Offered are terrible (though the company will crow about how generous they are), Execs offer lies about former employees (going so far as to imply that anyone who left recently was fired and stealing, though it was a complete fabrication), Good Work is Rewarded with replies of "What has so-and-so done for me lately?"

Pros

Engaging work and opportunity for movement / growth within the company. The product is very well made and has good reputation in the industry. Decent pay and generous bonuses given out but only for top performers. Healthcare benefits good and way less expensive on employee side compared to other companies I’ve worked for.

Cons

Bad sales hires since Covid but company seems to be making changes. CEO has limited patience for excuses and employees who don’t care.
