Miss the benefits, but not the company

Business Outlook

Pros

Best benefits I ever had, but I will say they came at a cost as during covid you were expected to sell your soul to the devil to get the "vaccine" out the door.

Cons

Leadership uses the word "pivot" constantly, which basically means they have no idea what they are doing since the strategy changes on a daily basis. Favoritism for the old guard only, backstabbing management. Sadly many good people worked there, that were scared away or kicked to the curb.

Pros

I really do not have any

Cons

I was subjected to illegal and unethical behavior by more than one employee. The employees were never charged and remain employed to my understanding. I was laid off.
