Pros

The pay was okay, but really not competitive with much of the industry.

Cons

It's useless to be proactive. Leaders get bent out of shape when their employees do better than them, and then the employee gives a proper notice to quit, they take it personally. The company is shrinking and the customers have rate fatigue. Prospective employees, beware.

Pros

Use to be a great place to work with great benefits and great culture. The past 5 years or so it has gone down hill because of management mainly one person from what is being passed down.

Cons

IT cannot move up unless you apply for another job due to managements rule from the top. I am currently look outside because of this rule, along with a lot of others I talk to.

Pros

A couple years ago this would have been filled up but current culture change has left this place toxic.

Cons

• VERY toxic culture • New CEO is former CFO so all she cares about is the bottom line and doesn’t care how she gets there. • Ethics is non existent • No loyalty • Always have to cover your butt because others are out to catch you doing any little thing wrong. • They used me to set up there 2024 projects then 2nd week of 2024 they eliminated my position with no warning. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, you get treated like garbage and they will replace you faster than you can blink.
