Pros

Flexible hours, some employees able to work from home, free parking, good medical insurance, free life insurance equal to your annual salary, 401(k) match of 50% for up to 8% of what you contribute, cross functional teams usually work well together, management is accessible

Cons

Dental insurance is not good (MetLife), short term disability insurance is a pain due to horrible third party vendor (MetLife), the wrong people are promoted (sometimes the hardest workers are rarely/never promoted and pigeon holed into a position), no room for growth even though they claim there is through making meaningless annual goals, pay is VERY low for my field, not enough company paid holidays (you have to work Black Friday and Christmas Eve - these are hard to take off since it is a payroll company - nothing ever goes on on these days, so you're sitting at your desk waiting to go home, poor employee morale (company politics are the worst I've ever seen).

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
