Pros

Great pay, great benefits. Plenty of opportunities to move up in the company.

Cons

Can be stressful like any job and it seems like we are always understaffed but that's everywhere recently.

Pros

They care about people, offer good benefits, and pay is fairly competitive. The company is good about recognition and trying to keep employees engaged. Transitioning to remote work was also a big plus.

Cons

There are some people in management or leadership positions that don't communicate effectively, disrespect process, and create emergency situations due to poor planning. They listen to respond rather than understand, but they continue to get promoted, and it creates an unbalanced, intimidating work environment.
