Pros

- Free cable. - 401k match - They always make money because they don't really compete for business - Pretty recession proof company to work for - A lot of opportunities due to vacancies - Everyone for the most part is pretty friendly

Cons

- They cap salary increases at 15%, regardless of how underpaid that can make you. Meaning if you are a Tech Support Specialist in school making $15.00, and you finish your degree, apply for, interview, and get an offer for say, a software developer role, the max they can offer you is $17.25. - Products will be launched regardless of actually being finished or functional, checking boxes is the TOP priority for leadership regardless of quality of deliverable - Antiquated dress code policy, engineers have to subscribe to 'business casual' environment as management believes that people in slacks increases their workoutput by 10% - If your title does not reflect your real job function (you are performing a critical 2019 role in 2005 title structure) it will take literally years and escalations to get it changed. - IT is the bane of everyone's existence. if you get hired expect to not really be able to work for at least 30-90 days while your management constantly escalates access/ software requests through the black hole that is IT - Super data immature from a 'data for software' perspective, meaning if you know what that is and suggest changes to make that better, you will be looked at like either a wizard or a lunatic, and then it will take 2 years to update a dropdown field in salesforce to a normalized value. - 0 work from home policy formally - Rampant politics and power moves - Rampant silos and fiefdoms - They have gutted benefits, but they are still better than nothing - 'Facts' do not exist, data is manipulated to tell individually beneficial stories only
