Pros

Stable company during volatile economy. The company runs very lean and only hires when they know they can retain. Layoffs are few and can be contributed to conservative spending during hard economic times instead of reduction of employment.

Cons

Pay is below standard, benefits used to be excellent and a huge benefit to working there but have become inferior over the years, dysfunctional HR department, upper management are still stuck in the business tactics and strategies of old. Very much a good ol' boys club.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
