Pros

Pay is good, benefits are good.

Cons

High turn over. High burnout. You’re nothing more than a metric. They only care about metrics. There is no fairness here. No room to move up and tons of useless middle management. Arbitrary and childish rules. Hourly employees are treated as lesser than salary and have stricter rules. Don’t expect to be treated like an adult here. Want to have freedom to take 5 minutes to get free food? No, there’s rules. Achieving your goals and doing your job? Expect a performance improvement plan.
