Pros

Benefits are decent. PPO option, but High Deductible Plan is pushed. Healthly lifestyle program provides med coverage discounts. FMLA (limited). Dental and Vision are OK. Vacation is Average. Several 'Company' holidays (in actuality they are observed Jewish religious holidays. Likely to accommodate the NY HQ office).

Cons

Company recently went Private (2019). There is NO clarity or communication between management, upper management, or departments on direction, procedures, or decisions. Company 'values' are laughable. You are completely disposable. Very Little to NO opportunity for advancement. NO merit increases worth mentioning. Management is VERY politicized. Little transparency on company decisions or changes. If any communication is sent, it is generic fluff. CEO is a posh figurehead.

Pros

Generous PTO and numerous holidays.

Cons

You will be worked to death. The incentive is “hard work is its own reward”. Raises just came out and they are completely insulting. All after a town hall of how great the company did. It’s not even 1/3 of the cost of living increase needed.

Pros

You get the Jewish holidays off, in addition to the regular 12 holidays.

Cons

They keep getting rid of great people and keeping the dead weight. It takes forever to get anything done because the corporate culture is 'That's not my job' and those people seem to be rewarded for doing very little. They went Private recently and are 'going back to basics' but aren't actively doing anything beside laying off hundreds of people.
