Steady Employment but raises are minimal

Business Outlook

Pros

Most people are friendly depending on the department. Depending on who you know, you will be allowed to move up in the company. Very understanding about work-2-life needs when it comes to scheduling and/or working from home. You can learn a lot about technology. No traffic to deal with at the location. Huge property and easy parking.

Cons

Inter-departmental communication is minimal. Raises are small. Some managers care more about profits than employees. Few mistakes are allowed.

Just a go between

Pros

You can get your foot in the door at an entry level company. After a short time, it looks good on your resume. Time off and benefits are decent. They are constantly remodeling (new bathrooms, new coffee stations, new paint, new chairs).

Cons

Salary is entry level. Very low. No room to advance. So many managers that there are no policies in place because they all decide to do what they want. Heard colleagues call it "Appliedified" because it's how "Applied does it".

Low pay High expectations

Pros

100% remote that’s the ONLY benefit

Cons

I took a 12k pay cut & lost my guaranteed yearly bonus to take this position to add as experience under my built while breaking into the industry. WORST mistake ever! Merit increase is 1-3% max despite the company adding more work! This company does not give nor offer yearly bonus though recruiters sell this a benefit. Very much bait & switch. I thought it was a bit weird how unhappy my teammate seemed when I first started. After being with the company over 1 yrs and less than $2 raise giving the industry standards. Applied high BELOW the mark! If you see anyone bragging about how great it is, please note they aren’t doing the brunt of front line work also note degrees do not equal high pay with this company! My position required many accolades for the same pay I can make at bucees working as a cashier.
