Pros

- There are many talented individuals working here that you can learn from - The work you do is bigger yhan yourself. It saves the lives of people which I think is meaningful.

Cons

- Pay is way below average for most roles. - Bad retention: there is literally someone leaving every week and the culture hasn’t changed. - Mid and Senior Management are incompetent. Many of them are forced into these roles and do not know how to manage. - A lot of problems start from the top. Michael Cartwright is a very reactive CEO that tries to be hands on with things he is not the best at instead of trusting his employees. - All the different offices that were acquired are always competing for dominance. Cooperation is hard to establish when egos are put first.

Pros

I’ve worked with some great people here over the years. Most have moved on to great opportunities.

Cons

Short deadlines and a lot of change while also being short staffed due to turnover. Upper management is all remote while accountants still work a hybrid schedule. It used to make sense to have a hybrid schedule because the previous CEO, CFO, VP, etc. were all in office the same days as accountants and had meetings in person. Since upper management is all fully remote now, the accountants should be as well. Benefits such as PTO is allowed to accrue to 80 hours and then it stops accruing. 40 hours max can be carried over to the next year. No PTO payout when you leave. Previously you were until this year. Holidays you get off are 8 holidays you choose from a list and New Years is a fixed holiday. Used to be more holidays similar to banking holidays. Performance Reviews were in July 2025 and we won’t see the pay raise until March 2026. Pay raises don’t happen every year. The reviews are very long and drawn out.
