Pros

I don't see any right now. I am looking for something else right now

Cons

They lie to our faces over and over, and it is exhausting. I feel like I am in an abusive relationship with my job. The most significant incentive of the job, work from home, was just taken using a damn video and community post. Cowards. Union anyone?

Do not work here. Work life balance is horrible

Pros

Good benefits, PTO, and flexibility

Cons

Company recently changed policy, through a video posted on community (really makes you feel special) that they modified their WFH from fully remote to now work in office 5 days a week. I have put in 6 years with this company and have been remote for 4 years I moved away from the office and have two small kids. The culture at this company has changed. They used to care about work life balance and cared about employees opinion. But to say having kids is not an excuse or saying that 50 miles is reasonable to drive into the office. No explanation no conversation they just continue to drop these bombs and expect us to take it with a smile.
