Pros

Hybrid schedule was nice and the office you are in does have good amenities. There are some really good people that you will meet.

Cons

Was laid off without much of a notice. The VP read off of a script and she did not even make eye contact with the camera. The messaging was so heartbreaking. I gave a lot for over two years and when I would have co-workers complain about things I would always be positive about things. On several occasions I was told by my management that there was nothing to worry about and they will not lay anybody off, the CEO said it himself in a quarterly meeting. They make a big push for hires to get ready for tax season (60-100 people weekly) and then when no one was buying cars they had to let people go. However, the people that gave the directions to make this many hires still have a job. The people that accepted the job or helped hire those people do not. For a company that says they value you and care about you, they don't. We are not all in this together. I haven't heard from any leadership to check-in to see how I am doing or if I need help with anything. I wish that I could have ended things better with this company.
