Pros

Great place to work if you are very smart, very nice and a hard worker because they fire people who are lazy, mean or unpleasant which is great. You don't have useless co-workers taking up space and making other people's jobs harder. Sometimes they let people go for other reasons though, so you really can't judge too much. But it's great to have pleasant, smart, hard working co-workers. Their benefits are quite good too, great Health Insurance (they are self-funded) cheap Dental and Vision, they match 5% on 401K. I have been there a long time so I get 28 days PTO per year which is great. They have offices in Jacksonville, FL, Indianapolis, IN, Dallas, TX and recently Montana and a few Remote positions here and there. If they are desperate for your skills they will hire you Remote to work from home but that is rare. Sometimes they let you work from home now and then if you have like the Cable guy coming or something like that. It is Manager discretion. Most Managers are pretty nice. The mean ones are not there long, 1-2 years tops before they get rid of them. The company does seem to care about employees, they've gotten a few awards for best place to work or something like that. They have a gym in the Jax office and offer lots of healthy webinars and classes to learn to be healthy. They have lunch rooms, microwaves, refrigerators, free coffee, tea and filtered water. They have food trucks that come almost every day and snacks for purchase in the lunch rooms. The day before a holiday they let you go home at 3pm, so that's 2 hours early which is very nice. They have company wide meetings once a quarter to let you know what's going on in the company, and how the bonuses are looking for the year, which is great.

Cons

You are expected to get a lot of work done. Over half of the IT positions have to work some weekends and evenings, but that's normal for IT people. They don't have hardly any IT Part Time jobs, and if they do its because that person has a hardship situation and has to ask/beg for it in a compelling way. Like they just had a baby, or their parent is in hospice, or they have a severe health problem. As soon as that situation resolves they expect you to get back to full time. And if a Part Time person leaves, that job goes right back to Full Time. I've heard that if you work at least 30 hours you still get benefits at a proportional reduction. Whether you are allowed to work part time or not is again, Manager discretion. So even if your spouse is dying of cancer, your Manager could still say no you cannot work part time, and HR would not override that. HR pretty much does what the company wants them to do. Don't expect HR to stick up for you too much. The company used to let people work from home several times per week, but now they don't, which is a shame. That was a great benefit that they took away a few years ago because a handful of people abused it. They should have just fired those people and not punished the rest of us. I really, really miss that since my commute is over 45 minutes each way.

Great culture and people. As long as you’re doing your job and producing, I have not run into any micromanaging etc. work life balance is awesome

Cons

Silo’s are common but getting better each day. That can happen with remote companies. Lots of new products and changes with new leadership etc so need to adapt
