Pros

Only one pro, it is a job

Cons

There are so many, where to begin. The unrealistic workload, treatment of employees, 50-60 hour work weeks and low compensation per stress and work requirements. Expected to work weekend, after this weekend, I will have worked 21 straight days, and that is with working 60 hours each week. They try to promote the $4 lunches, what is a lunch? I took 2 lunches this week at my desk, and shame on me for going to the bathroom. The micromanagement is beyond the creepy level! I was proud to work for an OK based company, how disappointed I am in the entire company model. I really believe the company promotes a hostile work environment. If an employee says different they are either management or lying. There is always the fear of retribution. Single parents are made to feel bad if they don't want to work on the weekends they happen to have their kids. If you can't work on Sunday because of church, you are told that the expectations will be the same, which means, you should really work because you are going to be required the same workload to get done in 6 days instead of 7. When the weather was so bad last month, employees were told to show up or else because our clients don't care how the weather is in Oklahoma. I will leave as soon as I can find another job!

Thank you for your detailed feedback. Employee feedback is very important to us, so much so that we offer multiple mediums to facilitate two-way communication with leadership regarding suggestions and concerns. We encourage you to reach out to your HR business partner to address any concerns regarding a hostile work environment as this is something we take very seriously.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

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.
