      Pros

      My team has some excellent dedicated people.

      Cons

      Fear based culture. Old school management - must be in the office to be productive, micromanagement as CEO approves every project over 750k used to be 500k until people complained nothing could get done. Poor communications lacking trust and empathy. Decisions are not made unless CEO first approves the decision. Claim great work life balance but that is only true in certain areas of the company. Certain components like IT are short people and attrition is above 20% due to low salaries and long hours.

      Pros

      Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

      Cons

      Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

      Pros

      Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

      Cons

      Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
