Pros

Autonomy and limited oversight with a religious focus on safety and sustainability

Cons

company obviously is failing - there is no strategic guidance or common objective other than to make money any means necessary. With lack of oversight or guidance, corporate groups all attempt to prove their value by claiming savings and growth returns. Reality is substantial political fighting and complete ignorance to the world outside the company. Add some stress and absolutely no chance at development or training and you've got the idea. High stress, but short hours - admittedly a weird combination, but it's the honest truth.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
