No Work Life Balance

Pros

They pay good and there are some great benefits to choose from. If you happen to be in a position that makes over $100K annually you get unlimited vacation. Flexible schedules as well. Supportive if you need to take off for family events, child gets sick, etc.

Cons

Absolutely no work life balance if you are a manager....period. You will be expected to work the hours needed. Corporate pushes people way too hard. Teams are not always staffed properly. Many managers work incredible hours because of this - myself included. Had several managers over the past 24 months tell me how it was in their portfolio and hours they were working. I watched so much turnover happen Jan - Dec 2023 as well as here in 2024. Trust me, if you value work life balance this is not the company to work for. It's called "The Green Machine" for a reason - you are a cog in the wheel. When I finally left the company once again there were multiple REM and AREM positions open - that should tell you something. If you are offered a position there, I would encourage you to think long and hard about what is important to you.
