Business Outlook

Pros

Great hours, benefits, and pay

Cons

Team dynamics are not great, management is a club you either are invited to join or are restricted from. Promote quickly if you play along. Mostly concerned with selling the product and meeting the demands of the account holders and do not truly try to improve the end user experience, meaning the support staff

Pros

Good benefits Flexible PTO Lunch once a week

Cons

Where to start? Above all, this is a sinking ship. Management is busy rearranging chairs on the Titanic. While there is great comradery among front line staff, the negative outlook causes higher ups to engage in survivor mode politics and the CEO is leading cut-throat culture. If you want to move up, be ready to throw people under the bus, and get ready to be thrown there as well. Most dysfunctional company I worked for. You might need to get a job immediately to pay the rent but my suggestion to you: continue looking. This is not a good company to join
