Pros

Only pro is that it's a remote position

Cons

Terrible culture with racist managers and coworkers who get away with anything. I have been on the receiving end of the worst types of interactions from my supervisor and other individuals on my team. They bully, berate and belittle me all the time. I am the only Black person on my team and they go out of their way to constantly remind me of that. They act like they are joking and send the most racist memes. I have literally received memes of minstrel characters as a "joke" because we have similar lips. I feel so trapped and stressed working here, because I have bills so it's not so simple to just quit because of the abuse. HR is a joke and there isn't a even ONE Black person on the team so there is no one for me to go to for support. About a year ago I tried reporting it to HR, and was told they'd look into it. Then 3 days after I filed my report I was called into a random meeting with my supervisor where they told me that HR told them about what I said, and that they felt betrayed because they thought we had a good relationship so they don't know why i didn't just come to them directly. They did not even investigate what I reported, just went straight to the person who I reported and asked them if it was true or not and told them they can't be racist. That was it. That HR person isn't even with the company anymore and i have a strong feeling that they never even did any investigation because they are friends with my boss. Since then the behavior has just gotten worse because my boss now believes its an "inside joke" when they talk about my race since we had that one conversation and i left it agreeing that it wasn't a big deal because i was afraid of losing my job. I am so stressed out signing into work every that my hair is actually starting to fall out. The culture here is so toxic if you are a Black/Brown person, it's hard to express. I am looking hard for another job, but unfortunately it's taking a long time to find something because the market is so bad. I strongly strongly encourage everyone to stay away.

Pros

A paycheck. I can honestly find no other pros.

Cons

High performers are looked over for promotions and favoritism is what drives the culture. Horrible work/life balance if you are not management due to the metrics they continue to increase with little to no raises. Benefits slowly getting taken away and "perks" are pretty much non-existent or are limited and cumbersome. Overall the culture is horrible. You feel pressured daily to complete metrics that are unreasonable to ensure you never exceed. Raises are .50 and do not even start to cover inflation or your worth. Both your mental and physical health will suffer. If you think that because Alma is a Mental Health company they will care, I can assure you they don't. Even stated in All Hands meeting "This is not a Mental Health company" when an employee mentioned concern for the culture and their Mental Health. "We are a Health-Tech company".
