Pros

The benefits and people you work with in your day to day make this a worthwhile place to work.

Cons

The constant merging with other companies creates a difficult and unstable environment. Contradictory messaging from leadership makes it hard to know what is expected or desired from staff at times.

Pros

Culture of employees amongst themselves (only), career opportunities.

Cons

Disorganized management to the max. Inexperienced managers thrown into their roles. Didn't even get an Exit Interview after 3 years of working for the company.

War against work from home and with from anywhere, which is damaging families of employees. Lower rank contributors are no more given profit share
