Pros

Good starting salary and benefits. Bonus potential based on company profits for all employees Great senior Leadership (JB) 401 K dollar for dollar match up to 6% In addition to bonuses, the company adds an extra 2-3% to 401K accounts when profitability is achieved Sometimes (2018) extra bonuses ($1,000 on Valentines Day to each employee as a result of the new tax structure) Depending upon where you work, flexibility and work life balance Opportunities for advancement

Cons

You could end up working for a manager who is "old school" and refuses to acknowledge the direction the company is moving from a work-life balance standpoint. Some Managers (older) have a mindset that doesn't match with being progressive Antiquated technology (they are trying to improve this)

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
