Pros

I’ve met a lot of great people and have built some great relationships here and I’ve felt very secure at this company throughout a lot of uncertainty with the pandemic and economy. I’m grateful for the experiences and opportunities ive had here..

Cons

while we offer good benefits and decent pay, leadership seems to be very out of touch and disconnected from what lower-level employees really want and need from an employer. The benefits and pay keep you here, but they feel like golden handcuffs. It seems like the company offers a lot in exchange for a lot and you'll pay in your wellbeing. work-life balance is a big opportunity. It's promoted as something that the company values but there are too many people feeling burned out by the demands of workload and lean running teams.
