Pros

there are really none to speak of. Salary is OK, benefits average. Lot's of vacation days, but don't expect to be able to actually use them.

Cons

Senior leadership has no vision, claim to be innovators, but are really following the pack. Work life balance is very, very bad. It is not how you perform it is who you kiss up to. HR department is a disaster. It seems just about everyone has a directory title, but no direct reports or department. IT department has been a mess since last CIO left the company. The company depends on contractors and in some cases they get better treatment and opportunities then the direct hires. Very high turnover rate, causes heavy workload on those who are staying.

Pros

Competitive salary, good benefits, and snack bar

Cons

Constant re-org since 2025 and no communications about who was hired so they can come and go without being known. Old-school management team in Finance: Micromanagement and unsuitable manager who does not use positive reinforcement at all, instead challenge staff by nit-picking.
