Pros

Can't think of any pros

Cons

When you start, everything seems good but things will slowly get worse. This place will ruin your health and mental health. There is a lot of toxicity in the management, they make fun and laugh at other people and anyone can see/hear it. Any recommendation or advice will be ignored and brushed off while you are being micromanaged because of those same issues you offered to fix. The micromanagement is getting out of control with managers assigning you the work of 3 people and checking on you multiple times a day to keep the pressure on. Clients and customers are unhappy because we were told to prioritize volume and not quality. I was led to believe incorrect things multiple times, about so many things I cannot even remember, and some that I could have taken legal action against. They love to advertise their unlimited PTO but you are made aware that you cannot take any days off as it would be "bad for the team". If you take a job there, look for something else because after 6 months, things will get worse.

Pros

Great benefits and unlimited/flexible PTO

Cons

Workload expectations were unsustainable. To meet the basic requirements of my role, I regularly worked 50–70 hours per week. While the company offered flexible PTO, there was little meaningful coverage when employees were out, often resulting in even more work upon return. Frequent layoffs and ongoing staff reductions meant existing clients were repeatedly reassigned from departing employees to the remaining team members, further increasing workloads and making it harder to provide the level of service clients deserved. As responsibilities grew, client escalations became increasingly common, and support from leadership during those situations was inconsistent. The moment that best captured the disconnect between leadership and employee reality was a company training on having a "growth mindset" that included the message, "It's not bandwidth. It's mindset." For employees already struggling with excessive workloads and burnout, this felt dismissive of legitimate capacity concerns. The culture ultimately led to significant burnout, high stress, and declining morale. The company has talented employees and clients, but leadership would benefit from addressing workload management, staffing levels, accountability, and employee well-being before focusing on mindset and productivity initiatives.
