Pros

Work Environment is fun, 401K match program, Company events. Property team is very eager to help out each other when needed.

Cons

unappreciated, asked to do way more than job description without compensation or promotion, Job demotions for no reason except Company wanting to cut cost but Upper Mangement always talks about how much money Equity makes and how much better they are doing compared to other big companies. Promotion Process is unfair because they for the most part already have someone in place but go through the interview process because they have to. Everyone is paid differently for the same jobs. A new worker with no experience came in making more money than someone who was their 5 years and great at what they did.
