Pros

Most I've ever made, promotion from CTA to IHCRA to CRA 1 were automatic for me (once I opted in)

Cons

Some people leaders are not supportive/won't fight for you, salaries for internal promotions aren't competitive for the job market

Pros

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
