Pros

Nice building located in the heart of downtown St Louis. They gave me over 100 hours of PTO time as soon as I started.

Cons

There are so many cons to list. For starters, the pay here is VERY low compared to their competitors. The workload was heavy and the turnover rate was high. There wasn’t diversity here and I often felt like alien because a lot of the employees would just stare at me and not even speak - including people in my department. The managers were catty. I worked there for six months and two people who were hired a month after me left shortly after. Whenever I look on job search sites I see they are hiring for my department. Our department administrator knew that paying $32,000 was terrible.
