Pros

Co-workers are great. Individual managers are good. Pay is slightly above market.

Cons

No formal training process or professional development. Managers are terrible at leading virtually and have poor communication. Zero work life balance even when on PTO. Poor internal transparency. HR and finance systems are antiquated. Male directors, AMs, and agents can be rude as hell towards female staff.

Pros

They were willing to hire me

Cons

Refused to pay enough to actually live. Functioned as hourly employees but were forced to work OT for free because of salaries. Anyone who wasn't a white man got extra rules and procedures and nitpicky grammar, etc thrown at them.
