So far so good

Pros

Decent people to work with, reasonable managers, some flexibilities in work schedule comparing to past employment. Pay above industry standards. The work itself is not very exciting, but I like it here with everything considered.

Cons

Benefits are pretty standard. Nothing else I could think of at the moment.

Pros

Safety is a cornerstone principal and is a high priority

Cons

They just laid off another ton of people. Besides selling off parts of the business because they can no longer get “new business” and they can’t buy more companies and gobble up the clients like Microsoft and Google. They are a joke, pathetic group in leadership that do nothing but gift each other and friends shares in stock

Pros

Pays the bills, some management seem friendly

Cons

Salary is lower than average and compensation is terrible. Don’t even look forward to a salary increase at the end of the year, they’ll give you pennies. No opp. for career growth, no promotions, over worked, company going downhill
