Pros

Generous PTO. You'll need it to preserve your mental health.

Cons

Annual raises are fixed per department and distributed on a bell curve. So if one person gets a "decent" raise, then others in the department must get less, even if all did a phenomenal job. This completely removes any incentive to go above and beyond. Refuses to replace workers who leave, or they replace them with much more junior (i.e. cheaper) new hires. Has quarterly meetings to brag about record revenue while refusing to increase bonuses and salaries accordingly. New hires can take months to be hired and by then, candidates have often found employment elsewhere. Dismal healthcare plans, and HR tries to push employees into plans that cost the company less but employees more.

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
