Pros

Health insurance benefits were cheap if you qualified to receive them.

Cons

Horrendous working conditions and hours for anyone not in the corporate office. Pay was incredibly low, up to 10k under market value. Time off was earned at an abysmally slow rate for non-exempt employees. Management is poor across the organization, continually demonstrating they are more interested in padding their own pockets than doing what's best for their employees and customers. Layoffs are on the rise.

Pros

Corporate is 10/10. At a large company, every department is different but they value their customers and employees and offer great benefits. Rewarding to work there

Cons

Not much to say. Best employer I’ve had

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
