Pros

Highly competitive salary and good bonus potential. Benefits package is decent and they offer a good amount of vacation and paid days off although it is limited when you can take the time off.

Cons

Field Management is not honest and open about certain situations. If they think you are doing a poor job they often let you think you are doing well and then come attack you.

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.
