Pros

1. Opportunity for advancement 2. Co-workers were amazing and like family 3. Usually, a lot of overtime so you can make plenty of money

Cons

Over the past year, significant leadership changes created a shift in culture and priorities that no longer aligned with the values the company once upheld. Despite years of dedication, overtime, and strong performance, it became clear that advancement and treatment were increasingly influenced by favoritism rather than merit. Policies that were previously consistent and ethical began to be applied inconsistently, and many employee‑focused programs—such as newsletters, mental‑health check‑ins, training initiatives, and engagement activities—were discontinued. The company once invested heavily in quality training and employee success, but those efforts were reduced after key leaders who championed them left. For nearly nine years it was an excellent place to work, but the final year brought changes that made it difficult to continue growing in a positive and supportive environment.

Pros

Good work-life balance, decent PTO and benefits, friendly coworkers

Cons

Slow moving in central IT function, many decisions are made by committee, which slows the process way down. Compensation is below average. I have received promotions every 1-2 years for the last 5 years, but advancement in compensation has been very poor. At best it took 10 months to receive a 10% raise commensurate with my promotion. On the worse end, I received almost no salary increase despite my manager, their manager and their manager (our department head) approving the proposed raise.
