Pros

Benefits, hybrid work model, work/life balance

Cons

There have been major organizational changes within the past year and layoffs have happened to really committed employees. Recent changes have also been made without any follow up leaving employees scrambling. They have also automated almost everything possible taking all human connection out of the equation (example: of you have an issue, send issue to email bucket)

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
