Pros

Employees are encouraged to stay through retention bonuses and the company gives them out to everyone to counter mass resignation from poor working conditions.

Cons

No investment in employees other than a paycheck. Leadership is stultified and lack the ability to coach diverse and dynamic talent. The environment suffocates creativity and rewards mediocrity.

Pros

The work is great when you get staffed.

Cons

1. Lack of Communication from Management: I encountered a severe lack of communication from upper management. It often felt like they operated in isolation, leaving us in the dark about crucial matters. 2. Avoidance of Direct Feedback: Despite actively seeking feedback, there was consistent reluctance from management to provide direct, constructive feedback. This lack of transparency made it difficult to identify areas where improvement was needed. 3. Refusal to Provide Guidance: Management was quick to point out supposed performance issues but repeatedly refused to offer guidance on how to address them. This left employees feeling unsupported and unsure of how to make improvements. 4. Limited Participation Opportunities: Employees’ requests to participate in projects or initiatives were often ignored by management. This lack of involvement hindered professional growth and engagement. 5. Forced Resignation Tactics: Some managers employed exclusionary tactics to make employees uncomfortable, with the hope that they would eventually quit, rather than addressing issues directly. 6. Lack of Support from Coaches: The coaching system was ineffective, with little to no support provided to employees. This further exacerbated the lack of growth and development opportunities. 7. Favoritism and Exclusion: There was a clear display of favoritism within the company, with certain employees receiving preferential treatment and others being excluded from important meetings and opportunities. This created a toxic work environment. 8. Unclear Path for Promotions: The company lacked a clear path for promotions and career growth, making it challenging to set goals and work towards advancement. 9. Inequitable Remote Work Policies: Despite a majority of management working remotely, the company did not adequately support remote employees, which was frustrating and seemed unfair. 10. Inconsistent Performance Evaluation Criteria: The company's criteria for evaluating employee performance seemed inconsistent and unclear, leading to confusion and frustration among employees who were unsure of how their work was being assessed.

Pros

The company is flexible and can adapt to certain needs (family, special situations).

Cons

PTO is not good at all. You get 15 days of PTO (sick days and vacation are considered PTO). So yeah, if you are sick for a whole week, you only have 10 days of vacation.
