Pros

Unlimited PTO was great, cafe in house was awesome, a lot of great people work here and make it very enjoyable to work with them

Cons

There is so much Tech debt that developers spend 50% of their time fixing bugs. Since they have a live system developers also spend a good portion of their time doing tech support. Management is expected to be on call from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day and they are very overworked.

Pros

Great company, lots of perks! The schedule is consistent; busy and slow seasons make the work predictable. There is always something to do, so if you like to stay busy, then this position is great for you. The team is relatively small, so everyone is close!

Cons

No growth opportunities. Seems like the 1Stop department in general gets pushed to the side; there is no recognition for the work you do.
