Pros

There is not a single good thing about working here

Cons

The health care is garbage and it’s literally just a savings account. The culture is “we love to say no to our customers”. The procedures are absolute chaos that is impossible to understand. The management is in denial and blind when it comes to practicality.

Great company

Pros

Great company to work for! They offer lots of guidance and training to make sure you are successful at your role.

Cons

Work from home is not consistent; it's left up to area managers to dictate what days you can work from home, if any. Some areas offer a lot of flexibility, while others have none. I think it should be across the board, allowed per HR rules, for everyone to be hybrid, so it's fair for all.
