Pros

Co-workers are nice, the building is beautiful, the pay is good.

Cons

Welcome to a company that just announced they will be firing 15 people while bringing in a bunch of new executives who are mostly overpaid. Very few officers in the company have any idea what it is their department does, or even the names of the people who work for them. Barely anyone has met the new CEO. Most executives dont want to get to know you. No wonder people are leaving like it's the 2013 conversion all over again. Don't bother applying of you don't have a degree. You aren't eligible for any position regardless how talented or intelligent you are. The corporate culture, if you can even call it that, looks down on anyone without a degree. Not that they want you going back to school. Then they'd have to pay you more money. But don't expect that a degree will help you. The company still wants to pay you like an entry level employee. The only bloated salaries allowed are the executives. And they'll leave their pay stubs in the copy room so you know exactly how much they make. The people making decisions are convinced they're the only ones who know anything. Almost every problem from the recent conversion is directly related to someone with a six-figure salary making a unilateral decision with no understanding of the consequences. After how badly the conversion went, someone surely lost their job, right? Not a single decision maker.

Pros

Legit nothing other than 2 weeks PTO and one week sick time but that is pretty much standard now.

Cons

VERY low pay for the unrealistic work expectations they have. Terrible and costly “benefits”. The HR department socially engineers these ratings from new employees. Internal software rarely worked. Lack of upward mobility. High turnover, poor upper management, overall poor leadership. I used to leave here pouring in sweat because of how stressful it is. There is no way this company is a 4.5 / 5 star. Almost everyone there is miserable due to stress and workload. This company is chronically understaffed. When I was there they opened the most accounts in company history during a quarter and STILL refused to hire more help. But hey they have food trucks on site sometimes lol.

Pros

Nice work area with many amenities such as a work out room with a class room for yoga / Zumba classes, on sight cafe and massage therapist.

Cons

EVERYONE is over worked. System conversion made things much harder and there are my items that are broke or have not built yet.
