Seems nice until you dig deeper

Pros

Flexibility with Start Time, Low Health Insurance Deductible and nice laptops.

Cons

the yearly bonus is minimal. They love throwing pizza parties instead of paying fairly. The company is run like a small business, with a gossipy environment, including leadership. There is a separation of states policy that allows each office to run independently, which is not viable for a rapidly growing company. Ultra-conservative company (it's like working for the "good ol' boys"). Large percentage of Aggies. No 401K match, ( they try to sell you on the ESOP to replace the 401K but you can't diversify a 401K and pull money out for an emergency. With ESOP EVERYTHING is with the company and you have to quit or retire to cash out.

Pros

This company is great for an individual who likes being put on projects alone with little to no guidance. Who also would enjoy getting belittled and gaslighted by upper management when you raise concerns about a problem. They don’t have the staff necessary to keep pursuing the work load they are targeting. Burnout is a thing.

Cons

They talk big about inclusion but can’t back it up. They can’t seem to wrap their head around that “baptism by fire” may not be the right mentality to have especially with the new generation.
