Pros

Work from home once you have prove yourself or if the director likes you.

Cons

HIGH TURN OVER (It's like playing musical chairs) or having a glass floor underneath you and you aren't sure when the glass will crack. They are so use to this so they recruit and have people on standby once someone leaves..If you aren't liked or do something that the director doesn't like you then you mind as well quit because you then find yourself alone in a black hole catching fire until you can no longer take the fire. It starts by her first isolating you from everyone then catching an attitude when you need assistance.

Pros

Great company culture with strong core values and a collaborative environment. As a remote employee, the flexibility and work-life balance are a huge plus. The IT environment is also very dynamic — there are multiple systems, platforms, and technologies in use, so the work rarely feels repetitive or boring. The company is supportive of employee growth and development, offering training opportunities and access to a large online learning library. Another positive sign is the number of long-term employees; many people have been with the company for 5+ years, which says a lot about overall employee satisfaction and stability.

Cons

The company frequently changes business processes and technologies. While innovation is good, it can sometimes feel like just when you’ve fully mastered a system or workflow, a new tool or process is introduced. Workload can also fluctuate depending on business initiatives and project demands. Because it’s a large organization, there are a lot of layers of leadership — supervisors, managers, directors, VPs, etc. At times, it can be unclear who the correct point of contact or decision-maker is for certain situations.
