Many individuals take off well more than they are covered with vacation and PTO and this seems to be okay. 5. Unrestricted internet a plus. 6. Great networking environment, hands on experience.

Employee perks like discounted events, Christmas party, catered lunches, chiropractor, vending machine options, and other perks sparse or are no longer available. 3. Needs more internal training and coaching, virtually no mentoring and promotion opportunities. 4. No career growth within certain departments, only movement for already management and friends, including no pay hikes. 5. Management intimidation, also no checks and balances. 6.
