Pros

Many employees have been here a long time. There is a bunch of knowledge across all departments in which you can learn a lot from. Everyone is willing to take time out of their day to help you.

Cons

Most departments in which their employees are able to perform their job duties remote are allowed to work a hybrid schedule, while others are required to be in office full time. Should be a company wide policy and not left up to each manager. Don't allow new hires to negotiate for more than the minimum 3 weeks starting vacation even though they have 15+ years of professional work experience and 5+ weeks of vacation at their previous employer.

Pros

Good and hardworking colleagues to work with.

Cons

No progression. Very little increment. Micro management. Pay peanuts but expect workers to work as if they pay us gold bars. All they want is a ‘yes’ man.
