Pros

The paid time off is good

Cons

Works employees to death - tons of mandatory overtime required Management does not support employees Yearly bonuses were taken away for monthly bonuses just so the company doesn’t have to pay out bonuses. You cannot make a single mistake because they don’t believe in the fact that humans make mistakes. You will get written up and put on a PIP. No chance to move up in the company, they already have the people that they want and they will pick and choose who to put in what positions. STAY AWAY!

Poorly managed circus

Pros

I made some long lasting, albeit trauma bonded, friends. PTO is cool. Prepared me for a better paying job.

Cons

Management really is terrible. Undervalued employees across the board and all positions except for C suites are WELL below the industry standard for pay. Annual “pay increases” are weak and do not even cover inflation. They continue to add middle management that is quite frankly useless and a waste of general resources, as they always hire EXTERNALLY for these leadership roles. These external hires do not know how the business operates and cause additional stress on the people ACTUALLY doing the work, by not even trying to learn and just keep shuffling things back. There is ZERO room or opportunity for growth internally. They’ll dangle lateral movements, or the sales team will poach you, and put you on a PIP within 3 months because you are unable to meet their ballooning and unachievable goals. Perks have slowly been removed over the years with promises that a “replacement” is coming, but never does. Events have been reduced to former shells of greatness. The bullying and manipulation from some managers is also quite bad, and has caused many people to change departments or leave entirely. Be prepared to be overworked consistently and micromanaged down to the last second. Also be adaptable, as the processes change every other month with little to no warning.
