Pros

-DREAM TEAMS EVERYWHERE (seriously all the departments have such strong/ supportive/ inspiring teams). -Excellent onboarding and communication with management. Although the company is large, management tries to really get to know you on a more personal level. -Amazing growth opportunities, the company really wants to see you succeed and I like that they promote from within. -There are always snacks, bagels, and coffee! -Great work location and the castle (yes I said castle) is such a great work environment.

Cons

People say that work/ life balance is difficult but I really do not agree with that. A lot of other corporate jobs require you to work on weekends (take calls, write emails, constantly receiving updates), and this is not the case here. Pretty fair work hours if you ask me!

Pros

-Unlimited PTO - Use this, the company allows it. This is the main reason I stayed at this company for so long. If they did not offer it, I would have been gone within minutes.

Cons

-Low pay- the company makes up for not paying you by offering unlimited PTO - They keep switching from Atena to Cigna, Kind of annoying when you already have an established PCP - Constant layoffs, its a running joke in this company that when you become a Team Lead you are about to get laid off. - Pay increase- Also it looks like when you start making too much money, prepare to get laid off. Accepting pay increases comes with less job security - This job you need a lot of adaptability- you never know if you might come in and you have an increased amount of duties because they laid someone off - this increase of duties does NOT come with an increased salary/hourly wage either. You are just expected to take on other peoples job duties for nothing in return. -Literally everyone is figuring out things on the spot, there are no tools provided to you to guide you through things. You just gotta figure it out as you go. - The company asks for more than they give. - The company has way too many meetings. You will end up sitting in meeting listening to other departments speak about things that have NOTHING to do with you. Time is not spent well here, time is wasted. - The CEO is very boastful and braggy, like telling us things about his personal life that doesnt pertain to anything related to work in any way, shape or form disguised as " fun facts" when its just a chance to brag.
