Pros

You make money for your work (but it doesn't match competition despite the company charging top-dollar to customers) Benefits programs (but benefits like PTO and healthcare coverage get trimmed more and more each year) Company match 401k

Cons

As so many others have written here, C-suite management and managers of individual contributors have no clue what they are doing. Prioritization is given to $'s being posted each month/quarter, meanwhile processes are thrown to the wayside. Benefits have gotten cut and trimmed each year. PTO does not carry over. Salary is non-negotiable for all individual contributors. Nepotism and office politics are huge factors here. Droves of good employees have left the company in the past 3 years, meanwhile some of the worst employees have gotten promoted into director positions (and higher). Hybrid-work-model is non-negotiable regardless of how well you/your team function remotely. The company loves shouting how inclusive they are of diverse workers, but the talent they push forward with this thought process is always under qualified.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
