Hybrid schedule Generous vacation time Flexibility with schedule

Private equity mindset of new leaders has sucked the life out of what used to be a great place to work. Talented and knowledgeable staff were all forced out or saw the writing on the wall and headed for greener pastures. While the Jackie regime was inept and refused to listen to subject matter experts, the Ian and Marty tandem may be even worse. They seem dead set on draining any bit of cost out of the company in the hopes of a private equity takeover. Their creative bookkeeping is highly questionable and borderline unethical, as is the treatment of legacy employees.
