      Pros

      A good company with a vision but not in the IT sector.

      Cons

      They are PRETTY laid back people juggling legacy 30 years old software, and have no plans to rewrite. Boring work and you won’t gain any knowledge. Managers are PITA and want to save their rears by giving hard time to people who are ambitious.

      Pros

      People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

      Cons

      Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

      Pros

      Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

      Cons

      Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
