Pros

Welcoming at first and kind.

Cons

No set training program for entry level positions. Favoritism is present. Employees take out frustration and stress on other employees which is super disrespectful. Super uncomfortable work environment.

Pros

- Work-life balance is generally respected. - Most people are lovely, at least to your face. - Respectable client list.

Cons

- The culture is hollow. It's mostly talk with little to no follow-through. - The company entered a tailspin with cascading problems after the Covid bump peaked. Unrealistic growth expectations lead to over-hiring and subsequently several rounds of layoffs. - Management re-orgs the company about every 9 months, creating confusion while shuffling responsibilities/expectations. - New initiatives of questionable value are quickly introduced and soon forgotten or ignored. - The upper management group has been there for many years and is far too comfortable with itself. Poor outcomes are attributed to direct reports. - Most of the most talented individuals recognize the dog and pony show and move on for better opportunities/salaries elsewhere.
