Pros

Good benefits although low pay

Cons

Local branches are very cliquey and it is difficult to become part of the team. managers were belitting and created a toxic environment. Becareful joining a local branch! Research and talk to previous employees from that specific branch.

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.
