Pros

The department and Team I worked with was awesome. The team had mostly older people who welcomed me with open arms.

Cons

The corporate office had very subtle racism. Was one of the top most performers in the company but I was never considered for their Future leadership program. Nepotism was high there. Was always asked how I got there fulltime when I was not connected to anyone. For any person of color, they should be careful if they want to consider working there for long term.

Pros

This is a great company to work for and is the only one of its size in the area. There is room for advancement if you work hard, do a good job and stick around. Much of management has been there for a long time and advancement is the best way to get into management as they have a hard time hiring management from the outside.

Cons

Overtime is expected. There are many busy times with quarter end and tax filing season. It can get stressful.

Pros

My office was clean and air conditioned. There was indoor plumbing.

Cons

They do NOT care for their people. ZERO life-work balance. HR IS A JOKE. As a salaried employee, you could not pay me enough to go back there. Nearly killed me- literally. Know that your health insurance is ended the same day your job ends without warning, notice or ANY helpful information for you to transition forward.
