Pros

The company offers excellent healthcare benefits that truly stand out—comprehensive coverage, reasonable premiums, and options that support both individuals and families.

Cons

The lack of hybrid or remote work options—despite clear awareness that certain departments continue to have them—has created frustration and a strong perception of inequity, particularly in roles where hybrid arrangements would be both practical and effective. The return-to-office mandate, without meaningful flexibility, has negatively impacted morale, work-life balance, and commuting burdens, including increased time, cost, and stress for employees. Additionally, workloads remain consistently high due to insufficient staffing, placing ongoing strain on employees and affecting sustainability and quality of work.

It created a welcoming, non-intimidating environment where interns were introduced to the company’s culture and daily operations. Senior leaders—including the CEO, treasurer, and other top executives—took the time to speak about their roles and their contributions to fostering that culture. Interns were also given valuable opportunities to network and connect with one another. Overall, the experience was both engaging and highly enjoyable.
