      Pros

      The pay is generally higher in the parts of the company that are union, however, the union aspect is definitely not a pro.

      Cons

      Nobody knows what they're doing. I couldn't believe the people that I worked with who had higher seniority than me in higher positions than myself doing incredibly technical tasks and having no clue the repercussions of any of it.

      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.
