Pros

Benefits - health, retirement, internal, social activities Friendly and fun atmosphere No one takes anything too seriously Most execs are a pleasure to be around Direct manager is wonderful though not supportive of ongoing education The people in the company are like family

Cons

PAY PAY PAY - is not enough. I got promoted after 1.5 years with the company to a position with about 100% more responsibility and autonomy that requires travel at times and off hours work occasionally and I got a 1.5k raise...I think the average salary for my position for someone with the high level of education and experience that I have is about 10k more than what I make. Yet the company throws elaborate parties that are catered and offer open bar with top shelf liquor only..why throw the money away when the employees could be given raises? There is a lot of turnover here which I think is due to the lack of competitive compensation.

Pros

Good benefits, hybrid work arrangement is flexible (you can choose your 3 days in office)

Cons

Tenure and friendship is valued more than actual skillsets. Many people in Ops have no formal college education or true technical skills, and have been complacent in the dept for 10+ years. This leads to inefficient and stale processes that are reluctant to change. The culture is extremely passive aggressive and long-tenured employees are not welcoming to new hires from outside of the organization. People will go out of their way to sabotage opportunities for those offering new perspectives with greater value add. This causes forced interactions with low value collaboration. Many in analytical roles do not even understand basic Microsoft Office skills, Excel functions, V/XLOOKUPS, etc. and data is often reviewed manually per line item… This company is run like a low budget mom and pop shop where inefficient and backwards practices are toxically in circulation.
