Pros
Fair pay, PTO and stability
Cons
Forced everyone to come back to office 3 days per week despite amazing performance last year when all remote. Only real reason leadership can articulate is to preserve our “pixie dust” culture. If you look at the job postings almost all new jobs are open to remote but the people who have been here and contributed to success are forced to come in. #whatpixiedustcosts 6 hours a week away from my children so I can commute. Please please please consider if you’re willing to give up 40 minutes (20 min each way) of your day to parking garage madness (that they will charge you for!!!) and a lengthy walk before taking a job here. We all spend hours just complaining about it, it really takes a toll on you. The Hartford has free parking and better pay. 9 hours of water cooler chat this past week - - people showing up at your desk,walks to meetings, etc. so much sitting around and complaining. They want to take more money from you with constant updates to cafes and expect us to keep Hartfords economy afloat while even state workers get to work from home. Also always asking for us to contribute to fundraisers but don’t give raises that match inflation. I don’t even want to calculate how much it costs me in gas and parking. And we get to contribute to pollution!
