Pros

They have fully paid benefits. The managers and directors are decent people and treat employees nicely and with respect. There is a good respect for work/life balance. You are never forced to work nights or weekends. Sometimes it comes up but it's more voluntary, and not abused.

Cons

The new offices in Weston are too restrictive. There is an unwillingness by upper management to seek out constructive criticism. This results in a cult-like atmosphere, where dissent is not tolerated. I wrote a lot more detail in another review but the review was denied, not sure why. Company touts "People First" as a slogan, however, it's not quite true. Uniformity of office decor comes first, and the employee's comfort and control over their workplace is expressly ignored and denied.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
