Pros

Great managers, work of home flexibility

Cons

Low pay compared to other competitors. Penny pinching their clients. Too volatile with the economy. Lack of updates from e-team. Layoffs are frequent. No real career trajectory. No 401k match. Unlimited PTO isn't actually unlimited. Lack of recognition from higher ups or team. Hiring people that are not qualified for the job, No is wants to pay for premium items when economy keeps fluctuating every few years.
