Pros
The people are nice. Flexible schedule. 401k matching (at the time of writing this)
Cons
There is no room for advancement unless you are at a management level or a stellar sales rep. Exceptional work ethic is not rewarded. There are no bonuses outside of the sales team/management, minus a free hour of PTO or discount on company merch. Not even x number of years of service comes with a reward bonus. Mandatory company appreciation events are awkward. Referal bonuses are highly taxed. Highly disorganized and lack of training and communication across multiple departments. Nothing is standardised, every department does their own thing their own way. Many departments don't know how to use the system and tools they have or how other departments operate/know if they exist. Training is basically non existent. Management does not know how to/is not required to know how to do the department's job functions. They do not pay competitive salaries and the quality of company benefits tanked exceptionally in the last 5 years. You will be required to work on projects well outside your job description for no increased pay, or title change or raise come quietly review. Company is a revolving door for anyone not located in Cedar Rapids, IA. Mass layoffs happen about once a year, for the last 5 years across all departments. Prior to the pandemic, office life gradually grew less and less. A lot of empty space. Upper management does not know employee names, even after years of working together. Company relies on decades old software/technology to do work. Refuses to pay to upgrade, or forces you to pay out of pocket to use current software without reimbursement. Work provided tech/equipment is bad repurposed/ used equipment. IT for hardware is incapable of fixing even basic issues. Software issues for IT are outsourced. King of Prussia, PA office downsized considerably in the last 5 years from hundreds of employees to maybe less than 50 on site (prior to the pandemic) KOP will likely close permanently within the next 2 years.
