Pros

Transparency work/life balance??? Maybe at times, but not during year end. March on my brave soldiers Good Environment Good coworkers

Cons

Transparency - it only goes one way work/life balance - how are you to have one when the downsize a team you are on to a point where you end up being the only one on the team because everyone else quits. GOD Forbid you have any type of health conditions or even if you get injured in a car accident on your way to work..what you need PT? sorry, you don't have enough sick time or vacation accrued - and you've missed so much time, we're gonna have to let you go. Accountability???? - NON-EXISTENT - company policy, if some one makes a mistake, is that person held accountable and fix their mistakes??? NOPE - you took the call you own it. We love letting everyone off the hook so they can continue these behaviors to the point your quality talent leaves.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
