Pros

I didn’t originally come onto Glassdoor with the purpose of writing a review—I was just curious to see what was being said about the company. After going through and reading these reviews, I am shocked and disappointed with all the negativity I’m seeing. The number one theme I keep seeing is that people are unhappy with the management. I’m going to be honest and say that I don’t agree with my managers 100% of the time, and quite frankly I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to anyone who thinks that their managers couldn’t possibly do a better job. However, they are absolutely NOT the villains they are made out to be. In my experiences, they’ve been transparent and respectful towards me. They won’t necessarily jump in to tell me how to do my job, but I’m grateful for that! I can’t stand the thought of being micromanaged, so having the freedom to do my work the way I think would be best is ideal for me. That said, I’ve never felt like I can’t go to my managers for assistance. They’re always available and do everything they can to help me out. I didn’t think I’d be spending my evening typing out a review to defend my managers, but here we are. I hope this clears some things up and encourages anyone looking into this company to get to know the management instead of being scared away by the few angry people who decided to slander them.

Cons

I covered what I wanted to and prefer not to fill out this section.
