Pros

Benefits, pay (for younger kids getting out of college).

Cons

The collocation team seems like a fun frat house environment when you start working there. However, the catty, high school mentality of management knows within a day of knowing you if they are going to fast track you. The superficiality of management is outrageous. If they want you apart of their "clique" you will succeed. If you don't drink the koolaid you will be left in the dust. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is based on merit. I moved to the accounts receivable team thinking I would be relieved. The management was extremely aggressive and verbally abusive constantly (for no reason mind you as I was a top performer). I brought my concerns to HR and they fell on deaf ears. I had no choice but to resign from my position due to this harassment I was incurring on a daily basis.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
