Pros

good benefits Unlimited PTO ( I haven't used but they seems positive about it) 401K match, health insurance Some teams really looks cooperative, friendly and helpful

Cons

It depends on your team but you can have a team leader who has not only lock of leading experience but also people skills, technical skills. When you ask a question, he doesn't answer it. He is a show guy that just speaks and show off himself in a scrum meetings. He says lets discuss it after meeting, then he doesnt exist. Documentations are old and not proper. You have to find yourself all configurations or have to contact with many people when your team leader doesn't help you. Tech stack is old. Salary could be better. Based on my own team experience I would not recommend it.

Pros

Competitive pay, benefits and bonuses.

Cons

It is a great company and as such there exists over communication; however, I’m not sure how they get past “too much” communication.

Pros

Benefits are good. PTO Day 1.

Cons

No advancement opportunity. They claim they hire internally, but they don't seem to adhere to that. Out of nowhere, hours were cut from 40 hours to 32 for our particular shift due to "business needs". However it seems like we are rarely caught up at the end of the night. The same position on another shift did not lose nearly as many hours. Then, there was a location wide meeting where they bragged about record sales and record profits. Seems pretty insensitive to do in front of employees who lost over 20% of their pay. The manager comes off as completely harsh and rude. When you fill out a survey stating facts, they are met with a dismissive tone followed by, "you know this is not true". Training is non existent. Other underpaid employees have to train you so it's like a game of telephone where the training contains just a little less information or a little more incorrect information each time. Pay for other positions in the organization is below average. When applying for those positions internally, they want to base pay on your current role instead of based on qualifications for the job being offered. There is a pay range listed for jobs, don't expect to get anywhere near the top and you are LUCKY to see the middle of that range. Pay raises are not anywhere near inflation rates, so if you stay more than a year you are losing money.
