Business Outlook

Pros

Hybrid work from home schedule. Interesting projects. Good benefits. Open to ideas. 9/80 schedule available (work 80hrs over 9 days, Mon-Thurs 9hrs, 8hrs every other Friday & have every other Friday off)

Cons

PTO is not negotiable, based on years of service only. If on the 9/80 schedule, company mandates you use 1 hour of PTO per paid holiday, you cannot work an extra hour that week to avoid using the 1 hour of PTO. Some required emails seem unnecessary and time consuming.
