      Pros

      Hybrid schedule instead of fully-time in office 401k Coworkers

      Cons

      Hybrid work schedule. Our group has literally no reason or need to go to the office. Gas prices are way too high for this. Office noise level is horrendous. Health insurance is meh. Doesn’t listen to employees

      A solid job, but explore your options with competitors.

      Pros

      Benefits beyond just health. Potential for large bonuses. Generous PTO, especially once you reach management level. Lots of great people. Lots of opportunities to move between departments if you feel you're ready for a change. Great education benefits. Many opportunities to network even if your team is all working from home or all located in different states (zoom socials, holiday events, Business Resource Groups).

      Cons

      Company leadership definitely has an eye toward "the good old days" of 2019 and before rather than looking to be a leader in 2022 and beyond. Company leaders tend to strike an openly disdainful tone when speaking of employees further down the chain, and they are insisting on a full return to offices for all employees immediately, regardless of job description, past remote performance, the recommendations of managers, local disease transmission, local hospital system status, etc. There is no parking allowance, so not only will you commute and work from the office, you will also pay a significant amount to park there. It definitely feels like employee morale is down and dissatisfaction is up and that the folks at the top really don't care at all.

      Pros

      PTO, Benefits, pay OK, WFH,

      Cons

      Forced hybrid/office time. If we are making our numbers let us WFH 100% if we desire. Claims office time is for collaboration but also has anti-collaborative policies for being in the office with COVID. Cares more about image and having butts in seats than people’s’ well-being. The hypocrisy is getting old, fast.
