Pros

Good middle management who tried to be transparent and fair, but were often as much in the dark as anyone.

Cons

Upper management not transparent thru merger, then straight up lied at times, before mass layoffs. Disappointing that people who had been burned through the industry once again were promised a future, only to walk in to security escorts the very next week.

Pros

It is a new position for me. The training I have received has been exceptional. The vibe in the office so far is really good. I see room for growth and I now have a work life balance.

Cons

I'd like more pay but who doesn't. I believe I am paid correctly for my experience.

Pros

Decent pay, no work weekends

Cons

Back office operations is extremely unorganized during mergers, there is little to no communication with employees from upper management about plans, changes, etc. The company makes it clear they value profits over people.
