Pros

-ability to work remote sometimes? Otherwise none.

Cons

New boss (after two months) verbatim told me she didnt know if I was "worth taking the time to get experience", fired me due to inexperience and then brought on someone from her old job. That's how much they value people. AKA, they do not. At all. HR peppers happy reviews on here, I honestly believe the rating is closer to the 1-2 range for actual employees. People are tired and overworked and DEEPLY UNDER VALUED ACROSS THE BOARD.

Thanks for letting us know . We are all sad you didn't have a better experience, because we do, in fact, value people -- so much so that we regularly add exciting new employee perks-- all because we listen to what matters to our employees. Please feel free to contact HR directly, and we can work toward a more positive resolution to your concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to share this review! We are so glad that you are seeing all the positive changes in the way we operate. We also appreciate the comment about some unsteadiness. Rapid change can indeed cause some fatigue, and we will continue to encourage frequent communication, based on transparency, to address it.
