Pros

Brightsign has a flexible time off policy and they cover the majority of insurance costs.

Cons

In my time with BrightSign it has become apparent that upper management does not care about their employees. Upper management will talk poorly about their employees to other lower level employees as well as other upper management. Employees are given unlimited time off but docked on the employee review for taking too much time off even though it was approved. There is also no growth available, headcount is not increasing thus no room for current employee growth; this results in a very high turnover for employees that are in the beginning of their career. Employees are also underpaid; this is due to profit sharing. Profit sharing is considered as part of your salary but is not always guaranteed to be paid out. With out the pay out of profit sharing execs think this is just a bonus, but for many employees it is required to pay bills. Unfortunately, it does not seem like the exec team realizes this and it is hard to get a base salary raise.

Pros

The team I work on is great! I feel valued and appreciated. No micromanagement, you are treated as an individual and adult. Very family friendly and a work-life balance is supported and encouraged

Cons

Team bonding is not the same across departments. you definitely see other teams do more with each other, but I am sure if it was vocalized it could change. We also have a remote environment, so I do not really know anyone else outside of my department
