Pros

+Yearly bonus — Small and they’d use accounting loopholes to weasel out of a full bonus each year. +Stock options — RSUs to satiate the lack of full bonuses or raises. +Work from home — sure they’ll want as many people back in person once the pandemic clears up enough.

Cons

-5 day work week for most weeks of the year. They offer a Friday off for “wellness” once a month or so. -lots of meaningless employee programs designed to give a sense of community when that money could be better spent in the bank accounts of the employees. -typical cringey corporate bs: buzzwords, meeting overload, the need to be friends with co-workers..

Pros

Only expected to work 40 hours a week, promotion requirements outlined, company holidays, you can actually use unlimited paid time off. Flexible work from home.

Cons

Possible to be overloaded with customer accounts. The recent restructuring of the company was due to everyone working from home, which seemed necessary given the pandemic.
