Pros

-Flexible schedule -Benefits are decent -Low stress

Cons

-Worst management I've seen in my career, as close to non-existent as imaginable. Primarily working remote, occasionally onsite with their office doors shut the entire time. Zero response to emails, phone calls, IMs. I have seen my manager five times over the past year. -Little to no work available. -Nonexistent recognition for your work. Put in hours of hard work of your own initiative to improve a process or solve a problem? No one cares. -Below market salaries. Push as hard as you can for your base salary because afterward the company only gives 2-2.5% raises every year. While it is a low stress job, it's incredibly demoralizing to work here. You're just a cog in the machine with no opportunity for advancement or to be recognized for taking initiative. No surprise there's a high turnover here.

Pros

My pros are my manager and team coworkers. Outside of that not really a fan. I do well at what I do.

Cons

Honestly, ever since new management has come for the upper VPs and directors, a lot has shifted for the negative. Feels very micromanaging when we were told we were doing fine at home and there was no reason to have us come back in the office. Now suddenly we’re being forced back to the office. Other departments and I don’t really get along because there’s a bunch of petty people just trying to get others in trouble and all I’m doing is trying to do my job. Where I am at, everyone just talks all day and then complains about how much work they have.
