Pros

The people there are very hardworking good people.

Cons

New CEO, does not care about the employees at all. He has taken away every benefit that would attract and retain great employees. Employees are leaving in droves. They took away all remote work, (that was after assuring employees that they would be hybrid), the small stipend for cell phones was taken away, the health care (Cigna) is the worst policy with a high deductible, and doesn't cover much. Morale in the past year has been extremely low. No raises in 2024, very very small bonuses, Raises in the past have only been 1%-1.5%. which is extremely low compared to other organizations which typically have raises of 2%-3%. Have gone through multiple layoffs in the last 2 years. (Some layoffs were done very quietly, without notice). Too many executive level employees are living in the past b/c most of them have been at the company for 30-40years, and any younger employees that were hired over the last couple of years have already left the company or are looking to leave. Its unfortunate, that this company is living in the past and has chosen to lie to employees on several occasions, first being, about remote work, second about layoffs. They only offer 15 days PTO that you have to accrue, no sick time and no personal time. As for holidays they only offer about 6 holidays, which is well below the norm for the industry. Unfortunately, this company is not stable at this time.
