New employee training was a little difficult. I was being trained by a remote employee. There wasn't a list of "these are your daily/weekly/monthly" tasks. As I've been in this position, I have created a directory of important documents.
It's great to have photos in Outlook so you can put a face with a name, unless the photo is outdated. IRMI took new photos this year and will be updating the photos. This will be extremely helpful to new employees (and would have been to me a few years ago). With being mostly remote, this is the only way you learn to put faces with names.
It’s a fairly flat organization, so promotion opportunities are less frequent than at larger companies, but there are plenty of opportunities to take on more responsibility. They do a good job of recognizing individual contributions, and they review salaries annually to ensure pay is competitive.
My commute - although this is my choice to have moved further from the office, knowing we go to the office twice a week. On the other hand, I feel like there is no need for me to look for another position closer to my home because I love my job, the company culture/atmosphere, and the people I work with.
My true "con" would be the copay for office specialists and the high deductible. I would rather pay a little more each pay period than have high copays/deductibles. Even if that was an option for me to chose a higher monthly amount and lower deductible versus the higher amounts. Luckily I don't have to insure a family. The family deductible is outrageous. So much now falls under deductible that we are paying more - physical therapy, advanced imaging, and medical equipment (like braces, etc.).
