Pros

Some strong teams and learning opportunities depending on the department Fast-paced environment

Cons

I worked here for a significant amount of time and witnessed a noticeable shift in how employees are treated. There appears to be a pattern where long-term employees are let go, and similar roles are later filled at lower compensation. This creates a sense of instability and raises concerns about how experience and loyalty are valued. Additionally, benefits—especially healthcare—can be impacted quickly upon termination, which adds stress during already difficult transitions. While employment-at-will policies legally allow these decisions, it often leaves employees feeling unprotected and undervalued.
