Pros

Good levels of pay and great individuals supporting growth and development.

Cons

Poor culture and little focus on the values of the company in day to day delivery. No links back to HQ from satellite offices and very isolated as an individual. Recent redundancy talks were managed very poorly.

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.

Pros

Excellent Work Life Balance, Good Salary and Benefits.

Cons

No incentives to succeed. Very few rewards, awards, and bonuses. Culture is not customer or team focused; Upper management do not respond to functional area issues and would rather unfairly correct behavior of complainers. Way too much focus on wokeness with controlled behavior and silly Zero Harm program.
