Pros

most corporate roles are remote forever fine 401K they have healthcare benefits people tend to stay here for their whole career

Cons

Everyone is so burnt out and people often work on their days off. Employees are treated more like a skill set or a commodity than a human being. This is a very siloed organization with extremely poor communication. There are zero boundaries in the IT department and an expectation that you must always be available. There is an expectation to take on multiple roles concurrently without proper compensation.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
