Pros

The benefits are comparable to other companies in the area. There are some really great co-workers to be found there.

Cons

The lack of recognition and the reduction in pay in the past 3 years have created a lot of dissatisfaction among the employees. Also the prevalence of silo-type responsibilities with no real overall knowledge is becoming the standard way of doing business now. The rotation of management leads to an attitude of short-term solutions with no thought as to future repercussions since the manager knows they will have rotated by that time and it will be someone else's problem.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
