Pros

Great culture and someone is always willing to help. As with any job, you are responsible for your own self motivation and positive attitude for success. For those willing to raise their hand, ask how they can assist others once they are competent and successful in their own role, learn more, and do it with a positive attitude there are opportunities for growth and success!

Cons

Some employees don't appreciate the benefits the same way, especially those designed to benefit employees in the long term. A generous retirement and matching 401k, stock options, along with health insurance, stock options, long-term disability, tuition reimbursement, EAP, and more are part of the overall compensation plan.

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.
