Pros

Benefits...that is it!! Other than that not alot to say positive about the place. I got fired when on FMLA and my daughter got very ill. Ran out of vacation for them to pay me, so they canned me just before my anniversary!!!

Cons

They expect alot even from the people that have worked there longest and have bad months here or there. They don't care...they'll fire ya! Not to mention they like to do the firing just before people have an anniversary!!!

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
