Pros

Competitive pay compared to other businesses

Cons

HR doesn't care if you are sick with a doctor's note. If it doesn't cover a week of work, they won't accept it.

Pros

Good team environments Decent hiring pay and stock options Room for growth if you’re entering at an associate level

Cons

Was told I’d earn more stocks as I work. This has not happened and all my stocks have vested now resulting in a drastic pay cute despite high performance Pay raises are near non existent 1-3% per year IT has promised a year over year 10-15% cut in budget and they’re actively firing personnel and downsizing local teams. Its a very unstable time right now. Skills do not apply to anywhere else
