Pros

Benefits start the first day of the month after you start. 3 weeks of vacation (prorated based off of start date), fed holidays off, cheap insurance, advancement opportunities. Entry level employees pay was increased to compete with market.

Cons

Company can spend millions on upgrades but give employees penny raises. Sending jobs oversees paying them less than a tenth of what they pay an entry associate here. Pay from entry to 200 not much of an increase.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
