Pros

Unlimited PTO when you have time to take off.

Cons

Another year with no bonuses despite the fact that our CEO told investors on the last earnings call that the bonus pool would be funded. Great for retention in a company that can barely retain employees. But, our leadership team of 150 people took had a nice week in West Palm Beach in January on a leadership summit where they had the finest meals with open bars all 4 days. Why not have the summit in the underutilized Raleigh HQ instead of spending money we clearly do not have?! We have been expected to do more than less for the last 3 years and our bonuses have never been fully funded. Absolute definition of poor leadership.

Pros

There were no pros that I know of.

Cons

The company would set the maximum hours allowed on a specific publication project, and that cap was always insufficient, so the freelancer would be expected to work for free, despite scope creep. Also, timelines were unreasonably short. Poor communication with management meant things took longer than they should have. I left after one project.
