Pros

Easy job for pay if you’re a sales person.

Cons

Horrible forced culture, constant pushed propaganda, very long hours and lots of weekends; bait and switch from contract terms given in writing. Unwarranted write-ups (PIPs) even when metrics were hit if one is not a good cultural fit. Hardest workers get less rewards especially if you’re not supportive of the company’s agendas. Even if metrics are met bonuses may be taken because the sky is blue. Constant under performers have retained their jobs for who knows what reason? Popularity contest where brown nosing gets someone further than hard work. Lacking transparency for over 3 years with regards to what sales agents have individually brought the firm. Unequal pay is based on baked numbers lacking transparency. Hostile, discriminatory work environment where unequal treatment is the norm. Company pushes every “Socialist” agendas while front facing themselves to the conservative investors though Christian conservative partner channels then endorsing organizations, like Antifa/BLM behind closed doors and promoting vaccines, wearing masks, etc. Production/Sales increased production big time during COVID-19 lock down while the company pocketed profits and further took from production/sales when the company saved money hand over fist with the department working from home then after OSHA changed their regulations on employers regarding vaccines they decided to force employees back into office with mask restrictions. They also made Sales reps who were salaried employees with the ability to work unlimited hours between hours of operation to hourly employees reducing their earning potential. The company was enjoyable to work for at one point for some “groups”, but those time are gone now and most want to jump ship and have already started doing so.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
