Pros

the benefits are not expensive. The on boarding training is excellent

Cons

this is a horrible company to work for. Middle leadership is lost and not qualified. I think the C level has its plan together but are un aware the middle management is broken. There is no empowerment, and the zero support and if you don't like it "you can go work somewhere else"

Pros

Their pay is higher than most A great stepping stone for industry newbies

Cons

Loyalty to the company is not rewarded. At day 1 you get the same leave at someone whose worked for the company over 18 years. At 15 years with the company, they allow us to pick a gift: mug, water bottle, mouse pad, charger. The sabbaticals they promised as a benefit were taken away before they could be used. The 401k matches were taken away after a sales-busting year along with merit increases. The majority of top tier talent has left for better opportunities. Having butts in seats is more important than having well-trained employees. Only employees that are leaving are given retention bonuses.
