Pros

Good pay, great benefits (NECI run, affordable cafeteria, gym) for a Vermont company, and good opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Know they're a company of choice in the area, and take advantage of it. Used to have a family atmosphere, but that is almost gone now. Managers can do whatever they want and are supported by HR, right or wrong. Seems like they're trying to get rid of older workers lately after years of supporting and showing preference to older workers.

Pros

The Co-workers and PTO time.

Cons

Management are mostly hired from other companies and come in with little to no idea how teams run. Employees are given unrealistic “goals” and if you are senior staff members who helps your team regularly throughout the day it is not taken into account. They speak a lot of culture but it’s all lip service. They want and promote people who cheerlead and pay no mind to people who have legitimate concerns. Don’t bother going to HR for any resolution for anything because they only look out for upper management and the direct managers. When remote was allowed, the all employee meetings regularly had not just the CEO but also members of the HR team who made snide comments about remote employees. They preached about work life balance but if you work a straight 40 hours it is not enough and you don’t hit your quota so they can use it against you. Unless you are management or HR or some other other department other than New Business don’t expect anything more than a 3% raise each year and that is only if you exceed expectations. You might get an okay bonus at raise time but taxes taken out make it almost not worth it. They try and make act like the once a year raise/bonus is enough to live on but if you live in VT you probably have at least 1 other job. For 15 years I had 2 jobs just to get by. You also get one other “gift” at the beginning of the year and it is usually something worth right around $100 and then act like they help solve world hunger.
