Pros

Lots of small perks and benefits, nice, comfortable work environment, decent pay. Most exempt employees have the option to telecommute, however they pick and choose which non-exempt employees can do that.

Cons

Lots of micro managers and big egos, slow on the technology curve. They don't offer a 9/80 work schedule and seem a little rigid about what they view as their core working hours. I've definitely worked in friendlier environments.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
