Pros

BOD is very good and company makes sound strategic decisions. Work life balance. My manager was driving uber and walking dogs during work hours as a side hustle so definitely not anything you cannot handle

Cons

People are all from Peoria and are best and worst of Peoria. Management is very poor. Coworkers are not too smart or professional. Promotes only within and most promotes family members, friends or children of hire ups so in return you get promoted later. Very small town vibe. Higher management uses r- word for example to describe other coworkers. My coworker had an affair with married man inside our office facilities and she was proudly sharing this information. Not for smart or educated people. Don’t go unless you are intern from Peoria. Vibe of badly rated middle school not corporate environment.

Pros

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Cons

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
