Pros

ESOP is only good thing about this company.

Cons

Very corporate, do not like outside thinkers. All decisions made from the top and trickled down. If you don’t agree with something, keep it to yourself or risk having a target on your back. They claim to value people, but the bottom line is what is cared about the most, always asking how much more can we get out of each individual.

Pros

Fantastic health and customer service standards If you have a good management team, everything goes smoothly and even when it doesn't they help you handle it If you negotiate pay before being officially hired, they are willing to negotiate Opportunity for growth Affordable benefits that are actually good

Cons

A LOT is expected from you, and if you don't negotiate for higher pay before being hired, or at the time of promotion, it can feel like you're being underpaid for sure. Just because you are on the same level as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean you will receive the same pay rate
