Modern, fast paced professional culture

Pros

US genuinely cares for the employee. It's motto "people first" isnt just a marketting gimmick, it is evident in everyday staff relations.

Cons

Very fast paced growth of the company creates a challenging workload. Fortunately, and to its credit, management understands and doesn't impose an unfair amount of pressure to get the job done, as long as progress is continually made toward finalizing tasks.

The Ultimate place to work

Pros

There is a reason why this place is one of the "Best places to work" and has been named on Fortune's list, several times placing high on the list. They don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. The moment you join the company, the culture within is always People First. They take care of their own. As soon as you begin to understand this culture, it flows through your blood. It's amazing how the leadership team continues to plan for company growth, so we can continue to do what we have been doing. Which is drive success by remaining people centric. It amazes me that other companies don't realize, that we will work harder for you, if you take care of us! Ultimate does!

Cons

Every year is harder, which is expected. How can you continue to push the limits of what you are capable of, if you don't continue to push the boundaries? You can't. To achieve great things, you must continue to push yourself to levels you didn't think were previously possible.

Excellent company - not perfect but excellent

Pros

Coworkers are very knowledgeable and are among the best and brightest America has to offer. Benefits are second to none that I have seen. Salary is very good. The product itself is really great and we put a lot of effort and money into constantly making it better. Management seems to respect and value our employees - all of us.

Cons

It can be tough to find time to take PTO, and then at the end of the year you lose half your untaken balance. Moratorium on vacations from Dec 15 to Jan 31 no matter what, which is silly if your workload happens to be lighter during that time (not very often of course). Management has some favorites who are good, but not as great as they think. The company still seems to revolve around those in the East, which can be frustrating for those of us in the field who are in other parts of the country.
