Pros

New president, no week end work for branch employees, multiple locations, free Orca passes, little to no overtime for branch employees.

Cons

Lack of training, very old school management, archaic processes and procedures, they sell benefits supposedly starting immediately but not true. Never know who you can trust whether it be a co-worker or manager in most departments. Very restrictive work environment. High turnover and no accountability.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
