Pros

4 weeks vacation, cheap health care, hybrid

Cons

MICROMANAGING, toxic positivity culture, if winter storm or fires in summer could work 12 hour shifts weeks in a row with no day off on a days notice. Customer focused, could care less about employees, forced to come into office even when you had COVID. Even when I had perfect stats of which there is at least 10 they keep track of they would still have monthly meetings asking how you were going to do more.
