Pros

Company has many resources that sets them a part from competitors, seems like they are finally investing in technology

Cons

There are too many demands that it’s hard to keep up unless you are working round the clock. They’ve outsourced a lot of jobs and eliminated several jobs where the responsibility is handed off to you to handle. They are burning out employees and don’t seem to listen to better support staff (mental health and culture seem to be low). The pay is low compared to other companies. The internal system is still very archaic so they have some work to do.
