Pros
Paid holidays include Christmas, New Years, Presidents Day, MLK Day, 4th Of July, Columbus Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day. Floating holiday hours are given for weekend holidays. 8 hours time off for parental school involvement, 4 hours PTO for voting. 16 weeks maternal leave. Full time & part time employees can buy additional time off. It’s hard to come by a good time off package so if you just need a job but don’t expect more than 32K-35K a year to start. Certain degrees + experience may bring you in between 40K and 60K but hardly anyone makes over 45K unless they get promoted internally or have been there 10 years.
Cons
Low starting pay and low annual merit raises. Good luck getting a decent raise or promotion unless you’re lucky enough to have a manager who likes you OR a department head who actually sees your hard work VS allowing management to dictate who deserves a promotion. Management acts like a high school crowd. Those who fetch coffee and lunch are usually shown favor when new positions come open. Lack of diversity in upper management. Employees who make more money cover higher % of medical premium to subsidize for lower wage salaried/hourly employees insurance premiums. They could literally just pay people more money and NOT do this. Semi monthly pay so no extra checks during the year. Medical premiums are high even with the wellness program discounts. $250+ per pay period for employee & spouse/family.
