Pros

Internal education is frequent & diverse. Coworkers are some of the brightest & hardest working people in the industry. Great 401k 100% match to 6%

Cons

Constant & massive resource actions. Very low morale, everybody is nervous, unattainable sales quotas. Legacy top performing employees with 20+ years of valuable knowledge & experience are being let go with a mere 30 day severance for their decades of loyalty in favor of less skilled & lower salaried young college grads. Too many underwhelming middle & senior managers who should be let go instead. No accountability at the top line for 20 straight quarters of declining revenue.
