Pros
Worked with some great people
Cons
One of the biggest cons is the monitoring software, activtrak. every single thing you do on your laptop is recorded. If I wanted to see what one of my employees was doing on a random Wednesday 3 months ago, I could look up the recording of their screen and see everything. Worse, the system is full of bugs and a few times I could see random employees’ screens who I have never met… you’d think that would be a compliance nightmare for a company that runs payroll. They are a “proud work-from-office company,” but they will put you on a PIP if you’re not putting the requisite 7 hours of productive screen time in every single day, so you essentially get penalized for collaboration.
Also terrible, over the 5ish years I was at the company, there were reductions in force to improve company profits, but they could still manage to throw their annual $1M+ sales meeting that seemingly only served the purpose of getting their giant sales org together to get hammered in a fun location for a business week.
I could go on and on, but the last thing I’ll mention is the nepotism. If you’re in the C-suite, you probably have a kid who is climbing the ranks fast and doing an awful job all the way to the top. They’re also probably the ones leaving all of the 5 star reviews on this platform.
