Pros

Remote work. Nothing else is good

Cons

Terrible company. Low pay. Below average benefits. Outdated tech. Trying to get anything from HR, like a paystub, will take multiple emails and phone calls and they just keep sending you back and forth between departments because no one wants to or knows how to do their jobs. They keep outsourcing labor to other countries as well so good luck with your IT issues. Leadership is full of fake people. All they care about is shoving diversity down your throat. Merit and experience mean nothing to them. If you check off a diversity box, or 2 or 3, you’ll get promoted. Leadership shows favoritism. Your hard work will constantly go unnoticed. They’ll just keep acquiring more companies that they don’t understand, underpay and overwork their employees, then fire anyone who doesn’t fall perfectly in line. Worst company ever.
