Pros

Coworkers were good. Nice office space.

Cons

Leadership - was laid off after a year because of “business decisions” - meaning 6 months in they acquired paycor, a horrible acquisition and their stock dropped 50%. They then decided for whatever reason to keep all of the very expensive paycor employees and real estate and get rid of local Rochester employees.
