Pros

Great office. Give up to community. Health benefits. Pittsburgh is a great town

Cons

Lots of favoritism. If you come from the outside you will have a hard time. They don’t want to listen to advice from outside experience. They do layoffs every three years and get rid of older folks that make more money and replace them with graduates from college for less pay. Horrible systems and buyers are gods. Buyers are clueless to financial numbers. Otb every two weeks and nothing comes out of it. Everything is plannings fault. They pretend they care but they don’t. Lots of fluff. If your name is Chad or Brad you will be ok. Also you work long hours because everything is micro managed and nothing ever gets decided. Worked late at night and every single Sunday. No support from upper management.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
