Pros

Decent pay, decent insurance. Steady paycheck. Company pays for your tools. I can not think of any more pros to be honest.

Cons

Everything else. Very short staffed. Expectations way to high. No work/life balance. It's all about them no thought about your family responsibilities, or any downtime for yourself. Work you like a mule.

Pros

Compensation was above average compared to similar roles in the industry. Coworkers were friendly, supportive, and willing to help one another. The team environment was collaborative and positive.

Cons

New leadership lacks institutional knowledge and understanding of the business. The company is relying heavily on offshore consultants who also lack sufficient operational knowledge. Leadership appears to favor hiring former coworkers and outside connections instead of promoting qualified internal employees.
