Pros

Mortgage discount for first time homebuyers.

Cons

They keep changing and cutting benefits, and when announced, phrase it as if it’s better. It’s not, it’s way below standard. - PTO: they recently cut 1 week from everyone, choosing an increase in 401K matching because they said this is what employees wanted. For those that have been here 5-10 years, you get 5 weeks PTO (sick and vacation combined!). Pray you or your family don’t get sick often or you can say goodbye to your vacation. They’re finding more and more ways to maximize your working time for their own profits. It’s clear they don’t value work/life balance. - Holidays: they JUST gave the day after Thanksgiving off to “compensate” for the PTO change. Additionally there is no President’s Day, no Christmas Eve (this alone should already tell you a lot), no NYE off. Healthcare: when my company got acquired by Rocket, my healthcare cost doubled.

Pros

They respect their employees, want you to succeed and forgive honest mistakes Do their best to keep up with modern technologies

Cons

pathetic 401k innovations for the sake of innovations don't want to pay for educational platforms like coursera or udemy but invite trainers that give limited masterclasses
