Pros

I loved everything about the company and what it had to offer! I was hoping to stay with them long termed but due to Covid I got laid off 8/31/20. I was with them for 2.10 years. The benefits are amazing.

Cons

Getting Laid off, salary was low, getting screwed over my 401k company matched $$ as due to covid I would still be working for the company hitting 3 yrs. But due to ending on 2 years and 10 months I was short 2 months due to covid, not getting my company match 401k of $17K!! (to receive the company match 401k you have to be with the company for 3years or more) I did reach out to the vp and hr about it and they said I could not receive it, which is not fair!

Pros

Principal offers unlimited time off

Cons

Company does not promote from within. If you want to move up in the company (or even move laterally to another department), don’t expect anything more than standardized emails saying you didn’t get the job.
