Pros

Good medical benefits, great co-workers. (really some of the best)

Cons

4 weeks vacation to begin, but be prepared to be berated for taking it. Some managers are NEVER wrong. Proving they are, is a fast track out the door. Don't bother to report to upper management or HR. It will fall on deaf ears. They protect their own, even the worst of the worst. Can't rate CEO or Board as they are completely removed from staff. Political correctness about the chain of command is out of control. Any information that flows down from the top is shrouded in company speak with no real substance. Really good people are leaving or being pushed out and no one is trying to find out why. Technology is about 10 years behind. Some extremely talented IT folks but it takes months to get new ideas or improvements approved, if ever. IT can only work with what they have. If you want a job where you keep your head down and agree with everything managers throw at you, don't share good ideas for fear they will be dismissed or stolen, and never point out mistakes or inconsistencies in upper management, this place is for you.

Pros

Remote work, but that is really it.

Cons

Compensation used to be competitive, but workload, expectations and initiatives have increased, Everyone is being asked to do more, and work harder with the same resources with no consideration for fair pay. Senior leaders are well aware of how they are perceived, but choose to do nothing, or simply say they are working on fixing things, with no tangible efforts seen. Our CEO is running the reputation, culture, and company into the ground for the sake of revenue. Him and his executive team are known bullies, and even though this has been complained about by so many of us, even to HR, nothing is ever done about it. We NEED board intervention. Just take a look at PMI's ratings. Even with the reviews obviously crafted and directed by internal leaders to try and suppress negative reviews. I will also add that career growth is non-existent, and the determined best fix for these concerns was training telling employees its their problem to figure out. Really makes us feel valued.
