Pros

Unlimited PTO, phone and internet reimbursement

Cons

Cannot stick to a plan. Every few months the company changes direction and it is not communicated effectively from leadership. High disengagement from colleagues due to favoritism. Values have been talked about being changed for 3+ years but are still the same and leadership does not follow them.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
