Business Outlook

Pros

Bonus Fridays off Good health insurance Good PTO

Cons

Horrible managers who haven’t been properly trained make the team feel children—tons of oversight, no autonomy, very controlling. There is no room for growth if you are in a resource group. Base salary is OK but raises and bonuses are laughably small.
