      Pros

      Some of the departments are genuinely supportive and want their employees to thrive. If you land in a great team, it can be a truly fantastic job. There are opportunities to thrive.

      Cons

      Promotion is based on favoritism and "yes man" personality types. If you ask a question or challenge a decision, you will be labeled "difficult". I was identified in a prior review I left here after quitting and my old manager started harassing my former coworkers over it months later. It was much more in-depth, but I removed it due to pressure put on folks I consider friends. It's been nearly a year, and I've heard the department I left has only become more toxic.

      Pros

      Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

      Cons

      Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

      Pros

      Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

      Cons

      Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
