Pros

Honestly, working here has been a solid experience, and I gotta shout out our HR person who makes this place so much better. She's always smiling, super approachable, and genuinely cares about everyone. Like, you can always count on her to be there when you need help or just a chat. That’s the kind of energy that makes the workplace feel like a community.This company has great potential if you’re ready to take ownership of your journey and grow. It’s all about using the opportunities given and not getting stuck in negativity. Those who want to improve have the platform to do so—just gotta show up and do the work.

Cons

That said, there’s something I gotta address. While the company literally gives everyone a chance to speak up and be heard, some people would rather just hop on Glassdoor and type out the same complaints over and over. It’s easy to blame the company or the friendly HR person when things don’t go right, but maybe it’s worth reflecting on what went wrong on your end? The people who’ve stuck around have been here for a reason—they have the skills and experience to keep moving forward. If there were better opportunities elsewhere, I doubt they’d be stuck fixating on what’s left behind here.

Pros

This is not a place where you sit through weeks of boring shadowing. They throw you into the actual work from the start, and it’s the best way to learn. I look at my friends in other companies who are still doing training sessions or doing the same job everyday for long time, while I am actually delivering and learning

Cons

They keep underperformers on for months, moving them from one team to another to find a fit that just doesn't exist. It’s frustrating for the rest of us who have to pick up the slack.
When these people finally leave, they’re bitter because they didn't develop any skills. They end up trashing the company online even though the company gave them way more chances than they deserved. It's a waste of everyone's time.
