Pros

None. The company clearly does not care about it's employees and the promises they made to them.

Cons

Will backtrack on previously made promises. "Restructures" happen often leaving employees to either apply for other internal roles or leave, but refuses to say that there are layoffs. Completely out of touch director and executive level leadership who have zero idea what it means to be an employee that isn't paid enough to live in the state they're required to live.

Pros

Great first level leadership, camaraderie among fellow account managers, company culture. Benefits are excellent.

Cons

Very reactive company that makes many quick decisions that damage the product, upsets clients, and increases the workload and job complexity for Service. Constant change that has not been for the better lately. Remote work has just been removed completely and all operations are now required in office 5 days per week.
