Pros

The product is about the only pro I can think of.

Cons

Watch your back - leadership is out to protect themselves. Even though they get "rated" every week, you don't actually see any action if they are getting bad ratings. No growth opportunity as leadership plays favorites. The company is still small enough for key leaders to have their eyes on certain individuals who they want to grow in the company. If you are not on that list or one of their favorites, good luck, you will be stuck. Compensation is low in comparison to other comparable companies. I got a 2X salary increase after leaving. The awards the company receives are not truly indicative of the work place.

Pros

Pay checks are on time

Cons

Managers are allowed to treat their staff any way that want without repercussions. They can “lead” with fear and intimidation and go completely unchecked. If they are in good with Sr leadership then they become a force to be reckoned with. There is almost zero HR in the company and are only here to act as guards. I’m pretty sure it qualifies as mental abuse. Many top talent individuals have already left and more are on-the-fence and it really boils down to management. Not to mention, more people have taken leave of absences at this company than I have ever seen in my life and I think this is why.
