Pros

Fairly good benefits, but low pay.

Cons

Very little advancement opportunities. Instead of hiring within, as is one of their main mantras, the company hired a dozen ex-Verizon/T-Mobile supervisors. The company has also done a complete 180 on employee relations and essentially treats their workers as numbers now. Even being a top rated employee involved in many projects, along with literally the best metrics in the company at the time, a 25 cent/hr raise is insulting.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
