Pros

Free parking, so that's cool.

Cons

Aires is a pressure cooker waiting to blow. When you’re first brought on at aires, it's all sunshine and rainbows. You get to wear jeans to work! WOW! So progressive! It only takes a few weeks to realize you've made a terrible mistake by accepting a role with them. Your work load is always under review by management. If you work hard and keep your nose clean, you'll be rewarded with more work from other employees who seemingly can't do their job. Management does this on purpose to breed resentment among its employees. Any opportunity to manipulate you into thinking your colleagues are not pulling their weight, management will gladly take advantage of. This is gaslighting, plain and simple. Not only that, if you ask for help you'll never receive it. Management views asking for help as a sign of weakness and often as a sick joke, they'll load you up with even more work. Get ready for late nights and questionable overtime pay practices. Not exactly kosher with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor. This should give anyone pause if they are considering working here. This place is driven solely by money. Don’t let management fool you into believing you’re making a difference, you’re not. You are a number at this company and nothing more. You're their meal ticket to wealth and unchecked greed. They will take advantage of good people, use them up, then show them the door. This place has bled a lot of talent and it’s a crying shame how they treat people and pay people here. Management is not your friend. Their motives are questionable, their tactics manipulative and their backgrounds murky. You’d be amazed at what you can find out about them through public registries. Avoid this place at all costs. You’ve been warned.

Pros

The good truly outweighs the bad. They are pretty flexible to make sure you have a good work/ life balance. Summers are busy, but that's expected in this industry. If are looking to just ride a clock Monday- Friday 8-5pm then this is not the place for you. You stay busy. I'm not aware of them ever having a layoff, so that speaks volumes about leadership.

Cons

I wish the heath insurance package was better/ cheaper and they provided tuition assistance, but other that's all I can think of. I also wish we received pay increases were more in line with inflation, but at least we received one.

Pros

- Hybrid work culture - There were some genuine good people I worked with here

Cons

Worst IT department I have ever worked at. Weak leadership that flat out ignored concerns that were brought up and only sought to place blame instead of correcting problems when something went wrong that they were warned about multiple times. This contributed to their mindset of making every little thing "urgent" - even when it wasn't, or when other employees didn't follow proper procedures they wanted it done anyway. Toxic environment with extremely poor communication and dishonesty. Micromanagers who lied and manipulated information, constantly covering up their incompetence and inability to manage others - with an extreme lack of accountability and integrity. Would tell people to get certifications and then never empower or promote employees who got them. Just got shoveled more work onto their plates without proper training on an already small staff while they never lifted a finger to help out or defend their teams when needed. Refused to enforce established policies and instead bowed down to other managers/directors who had no business sticking their nose in IT department operations - most of whom had subordinates who could barely use a computer correctly or follow directions, then cried like a toddler until they got their way.
