Pros

- Quality health benefits package - Well recognized brand name

Cons

- Zero on-boarding assistance - Many bosses, few leaders - High frequency of non-revenue producing managers result in inflated overhead costs and inability to have the budget to hire and/or retain quality staff - High employee turnover - Negligible mentoring for younger colleagues - Compensation is low given the high number of hours one is expected to work - Massive internal politics - Ethics leave a great deal to be desired

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
