Pros

Good training, Large Break Room, & Functional Bathrooms. Parking space availability is fair. Desk and chairs are fair. The office is also fairly secure from the outside public.

Cons

The training doesn't prepare you for the deep politics and hidden agendas of the local management. You will quickly learn that the company manual on policies and procedures are opposite of what the office actually does. If you make a suggestion, it will be taken as an serious issue with the company and you will be greeted by these words, "These are serious charges ...." People are a company's greatest asset, not the company's greatest liability. Its too bad that the local management does not understand this.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
