Pros

Some nice people, but you will find really great people most places. It is nothing that unique.

Cons

Encourages cult-like behaviors. They tend to isolate and penalize folks for speaking up . Same for those that leave. I was hopeful a former colleague would return, but after interviewing they did not get hired and they were by far the best candidate. Some leaders expect inappropriate loyalty for sure. All the talk when I first joined about "drinking our own wine" should have been a red flag. Then the shoes! Indeed scary cult-like.

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

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.
