Pros

I guess the training is a positive.

Cons

Where do I begin? I've worked at major carriers and have boatload experience, and I have never experienced the amount of micromanagement and hostility as I did at this place. Training was good, but once you are working on a team beware. Some of the managers were ok, but if you are unlucky to get one, he/she will make your life miserable. Lying, manipulation of work product, and the expectation of unreasonable work hours are the norm here. I have never been treated as poorly as I was at this company, and it seems that many really just come there for the training and are out within 2 to 3 years. The only way you can get ahead is if you are single and have no kids and are willing to put in a ton of overtime for free. I lost respect for senior management when they refused to address issues with a problem manager. Overall this company was a huge disappointment. There are better places to work who offer more competitive pay. This company does not value work/life balance or their employees well being and the overall company culture is depressing. If they could put an ankle monitor on their employees to manage them in the office they would.

Pros

Great benefits, amazing PTO starting off, company promotes inclusivity and promotion from within.

Cons

The leadership structure seems too complicated. Soooo many team leads. Certain lines of business do not have options for switching teams if you do not get along with your manager.
