Pros

I enjoyed working in Richmond at the downtown facility

Cons

Parking was terrible. Had to walk about a mile to the parking lot, and couldn't get anything closer even though I am handicapped.

Pros

Great people who try to be helpful

Cons

Onboarding was a nightmare from beginning to end and I never fully was onboarded. I am pretty self sufficient but some stuff required management or IT assistance and they failed to do that Micromanagement - all day zoom breakout rooms. If you didn’t respond to a “ping” the moment your name left the persons mouth you were reprimanded.
