Pros

There exist some great staff that help you learn, grow and are inclusive.

Cons

Pay is low when the “Budget Hours” are 2400+/yr. BizOps is undervalued and it shows in many ways. The “unlimited PTO” does not offset your “charge hours.” Each month we’re assigned the charge hours we are to meet EX- June 180hrs and you plan a summer vacation for 40hrs expectation is that you meet your budget; YTD hrs as of May should have a 40hr overage and/or work 220hr of charge time in June. If you fall behind on your budget you are literally Red Listed by those that don’t work with you but have all the control of your pay/future in the organization. Work/life balance is rarely attained and normally only with a large ay cut that affect benefit coverage. Work expectations are set higher and normally reserved for upper management. There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors but each office/region has a different culture and set of values - not a standard throughout. Same is said on process standardization.

Pros

Option to work remote, good company culture, nice work environment in the office

Cons

They made a huge change to the internal operations structure that caused a ton of stress and anxiety because they won’t tell anyone anything, AND froze salary increases for all of internal ops, in a time when everyone’s worried about inflation. Feels like they want people to quit. They tout transparency but don’t actually do it. They don’t consult the right people when making big structural changes. Don’t manage these changes well at any point of the process.
