Pros

Some cool experiences and opportunities if you’re one of the lucky ones. Flexibility since COVID but don’t expect it to last.

Cons

Tons of illogical corporate politics. Don’t except to be rewarded. If you are, it will only happen on your time, after work hours, at your expense. Expect to work above and beyond a normal work schedule or be made to feel bad if you don’t. Workload of 2-3 people applied to one person. Leadership will walk around at about 5 pm cussing about why people aren’t in their seats. All employees didn’t get raises and got a pay cut while being overworked yet they still managed to pay celebrities hundreds of thousands and give promotions to VPs and above. Projects assigned to people with favor instead of whos job it should be.

Pros

Learned some great skills early on I'm my career. Including to do what's best for you, you are not important to your employer. Enjoyed speaking with providers about products and services, fast-paced problem-solving. Enjoyed the ability to work closely with other departments to get issues resolved. PTO and benefits are great but not worth it. Underpaid for what the position asks of you.

Cons

Unfortunately many. They call you the Starkey family to excuse their behaviors and overwork you. They laid of 250+ people due to COVID. Many of which were with them for over 30+ years. Those left were expected to pick up their pieces. It was a disaster, so many issues were sent to upper management to never be resolved. They also rescinded merit-based raises to already underpaid and overworked employees. Customer service is treated like they are not part of the company, used and abused. Management forced many to come back to the office even when they were being put at risk and performed well WFH. MANY Covid outbreaks at HQ. Too much upper management and still a lack of leadership. Glad I jumped ship when I did. They are downward spiraling. Just a matter of time before they get bought out.
