Pros

Affordable benefits + good earning potential

Cons

Truly one of the most toxic work cultures I’ve ever seen. Some of the people that work there are great and hard workers but leadership/management finds them expendable. There’s a reason turnover is very high across the organization. There’s constantly fear and anxiety of getting fired for a multitude of reasons. Your mental health will decline and make you question your abilities even if you’ve been successful in any other role you’ve had.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
