Pros

Use to have lots of great people. People who cared about the work they were able to do on a daily basis.

Cons

infighting between different service branches one department being the 'golden child and building services that are already being delivered by another department. The sales team just wants to sell, but they don't know services. Many of them only understand selling product. Lack of communication past middle management. Only get half the story and unsure what is really happening.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
