Pros

The people I work with are friendly, hardworking employees. Some have been there for 20 years plus

Cons

Low pay- have been in company for over 10 years and still get lower salary compare to new employees in same positions No bonus for all employees- in Finance, we all work other together to get to the bottom line so why is that management are awarded bonuses the same amount as someone salary $50k plus? Everyone else is awarded a whopping $50 ( pretax) - No more work life balance- was working hybrid schedule for many years with 2 days in office, 3 days remote. Was told to return to office 4 days come January 2024 in email right before Thanksgiving. Employees had no idea and input, many people with families have to find care for their little ones in short notice. Schools do not follow calendar schedule! No incentive, took away tuition reimbursement for masters program. - New president who started little over a year ago. Many chief officers “left” the company. 3 left at the same time who’ve been in the company for years . This all sounds suspicious to me. Think twice before you apply here. It’s a a dying company. Your hard work will go unnoticed and will not be compensated. Only select few will be awarded and move up in the ranks.

Pros

Stable and generally fair. Pretty good atmosphere and family type of vibe and some of leadership is clearly genuinely trying their best to make it nice to work here. good holiday schedule

Cons

4 days a week in office, non-negotiable, depending on team a lot of off hours work is pretty expected, including on-call obligations, growth is somewhat slow, especially in the first 2 years. No bonusing, not enough vacation time, pretty boring if you're on the young side but they are trying
