Pros

Flexible work arrangement, nice colleagues. School benefits.

Cons

This company thrives on making sure its employees can’t survive on a livable wage. Their salary employees are expected to work more than 45 hours a week. The culture of the company is only to give the manager and directors better pay. The company will do everything in its power to gain a profit. The culture is proven to be nothing but backstabbing, throw people under the bus, self serving individuals. This company prides itself on finding ways to place blame on individuals and finding ways to make it not their fault. This company refuses to pay fair wages and when you request a review you are told “you are paid fairly” or when you state you are doing the work of a senior role asking what the difference is being told “you do not have a certification, you’re expected to do the job for 2-3 years to prove you can handle the job before getting promoted”
