Pros

Great place to get into the door Lots of experience and access to knowledge Some fun perks Opportunities for new graduates (I’ll speak more to that) Some genuinely kind and amazing people Took COVID seriously Cool headquarters and focus on eco-friendly practices

Cons

The office culture is made up and curated to look exciting but the office is dead quiet and no one speaks to each other. It’s weird and sad and they have to use noise machines to fill up the void The amount of labor you will be doing is mentally exhausting and you will be burnt out. 45-50 hours minimum and each minute is filled. I do not think most people will take a lunch break and if you do it makes your day longer. Every second of your day is tracked and monitored. They do not trust you and will come for you if they don’t think you’re working hard enough. Do not speak up because you will be fired, even if you admit you’re burnt out or exhausted. Sales team 100% lies/over sells and you need to pick up the pieces. Voluntary (mandatory) outside learning that is not compensated. They say it’s encouraged but not required yet you need it for your promotions. Promotions are literally a checklist consisting of HOURS of outside work that’s not compensated and nothing to do with your performance. It also helps if they like you. A lot of the outside learning books have religious undertones which made me uncomfortable.

Good entry-level opportunities, but a lot of negatives.

Pros

- Really great place to start with no experience and a great way to get introduced to the field and build your resume. - Great coworkers and you can definitely find good friends there. - Lots of swag, office parties, excitement, gifts, etc. Fun culture, but overly emphasized where other areas are not (that should be). - Cost of living in Harrisburg is very low

Cons

- The growth path is incredibly rigid and requires that you dedicate time outside of work to tasks on your checklist (specifically noted that it needs to be outside of work hours). - No compensation for working over-time (would be more okay if base salary were reasonable). - It often times feels like you need to validate the work you're doing. A simple "What are you most proud of today?" felt like a test. Calendars were encouraged to remain public so your manager could see what you were doing. - There is absolutely zero down time during the day. You are working a full 8 hours each day with no exception. This is reinforced by using a time tracker that screenshots your screen frequently and reports on efficiency by mouse movement. As a salaried employee, you would hope that your company and team would trust you to get your work done and value the ability to take a breather when you need to, without extending your day. Even taking a lunch break would extend your day. (This is regardless of tenure) - The pay is severely under what the market rate is, but the cost of living in Harrisburg is incredibly low so you can still get by comfortably. However, the amount of work and rigor of the work and atmosphere is unfortunately not equivalent to the pay you receive. - There is schedule flexibility, but it requires approval at every single step. For example, if you need to take an hour off at the end of the day for an appointment / mental health / anything, you need to request it, get it approved, and then designate when you're going to make that hour up (unless you want to use PTO, which is accrued). - It was hard to ever openly express your genuine feelings here. Anything that could be taken as a threat to the culture of a threat to your longevity with the company (i.e. saying you're unhappy or burnt out / have an issue with something), could easily result in elimination of your job. I saw that happen to more than once. Nothing is perfect all of the time and it's important to talk about things that aren't working. - Work from home flexibility is wildly restricted until you're at a certain tenure

Pros

Snacks Office parties Decent office space Learning opportunities

Cons

Worst place to work for anyone’s sanity and mental health. I would not wish this place upon my worst enemies. Pay is terrible and management plays favorites and is not trusting of their employees. Expect to work well over 40 hours a week and not get paid for any over time. Do yourself a favor and work literally anywhere else.
