Pros

Pay and benefits are fair. Pto is alright when you start. Some of the skills you get can be used in other companies.

Cons

Management is awful. They still act like they are managing people in the late 80s and early 90s. When you first get hired the company will try to be nice because you will be filling a position that has been vacant for months usually because someone quit unexpectedly. Afterwards you will see that there is no training or development for you whatsoever. Promotions are given to friends and relatives that posses no skills, experience or academics to back their promotions. You will be given a promotion based on company need not what your skillset is. There is no work life balance. 7-6 is expected for all title positions. You will come in on saturdays work past 7 on weekdays and answer your phone and emails on vacation and sick days. When you try to balance your life they will get mad. New employees dont get the perks that tenure employees get all the time. Recommendations and complaints are swept under the rug and if you complain too much about the unfair treatment you are pushed out. They want you to put your head and down work and not rocked the boat even if its completely unfair and ethical. What someone else wrote about being promoted and then fired a few months later is completely true and just proves my above statement about the lack of training. From my own person experience this company and this office does not care about its employees whatsoever. The work environment is not friendly, the company is non-appreciative and the pay isnt that good. My recommendation is to consider the countless other options before selling your soul to this company.

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
