Pros

- great pay/salary - product is fine

Cons

- pittsburgh operations values don't align with corporate values - management in Ops are pretty egotistical, and some aren't qualified to bein the positions that they are - lots of politics, toxic work culture - slow to move on ideas - lots of make-work - people seem to be justifying their jobs by overcomplicating everything - Ops leaders are too close to HR, so no one to help employees - some leaders in roles have fancy titles but no experience in operations - everything is focused on risks, so it feels like no risks are taken and thus no innovation is happening - you're just beating the same dead horse - managers, supervisors, leads sell everything to us as good for the company and have drunk the kool-aid, some of them even have tattoos that are affirm branded, and even Max was wierded out by it
