Pros

You can make a big impact here if you are willing to commit and put in the hard work for it.

Cons

I don't consider this a con, but a lot of IT will. There are huge challenges here. This is a company that was built on A LOT of acquisitions which means A LOT of disparate data and systems that have to work together... and most of what we have was outsourced with little documentation and far from best practices. IT is evolving here, not always respected, not in an ivory tower. If you can get past all of that because you LOVE the process of taking a mess and turning it into something exemplary... and for a company w/a great mission, join us!

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
