      Pros

      Plenty of opportunity to work with vendors to get equipment into the network faster than ever before. Management works hard to ensure bonuses are paid every year by lower the bar. Additional opportunities if you desire to live in Monroe, LA...

      Cons

      No raises for the worker bees. Benefits cost more every year. Outsourcing is becoming the new normal. Constant threats to move your job.

      Pros

      Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

      Cons

      Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
