Business Outlook

Pros

There are some great people that work there.

Cons

- HR team has a lot of turn over (which is odd since its HR there should be good culture there) - specifically the TA team. - There were favorites based on who your father is and how rich you are - hard work doesn’t get noticed, your last name does - No diversity with higher up management

Pros

Time off is exceptional for salary employees with a flexible PTO policy. Working conditions are good. Health insurance and other miscellaneous insurance and benefits are top notch. Top systems for training, programs, onboarding etc.

Cons

You only get promoted here if your friends with your manager or upper management outside of work. When addressed with HR, they turn a blind eye. Way too much drama and favoritism. They are more focused on their brand than their people
