Pros

A lot of flexibility in job duties, you can learn way beyond your job title or just stay within the title should you choose. Benefits are really great too.

Cons

Base pay could be better and more opportunity for remote work

Thank you for your post, take home pay is a challenge and we know it is top of mind for our teams. How to balance base pay, incentive comp and benefits is never easy. We will continue to work on it.
