Pros

Good starter job. Lots of opportunity to work with multiple systems and manage several projects over your career. Ability to meet some great people in this industry.

Cons

Corporate doesn't trust you if you aren't corporate - waiting on approvals and trying to get your job done due to corporate fluff getting in the way is like pulling teeth. Boss takes recognition for your hard work and only cares about how good they personally look. Salary and budgets are absolutely laughable and everything the company does comes down to the almighty dollar (user equipment such as PC's and cameras are 5-10+ years old and no plan to replace). Labor disputes were common and employs treated as easily replaceable. Turnover is ridiculously high. Ability to get promoted is easy because as higher paid employees retire or leave, they will promote you and make you feel good, but you will never receive the pay level or benefits that the last employee received.

Career growth through working with a team that is about success - clients and your own!

Cons

No water-cooler chats because of being remote, but this isn't really a con.

Pros

A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
