Pros

Great benefits Work from home option

Cons

Zero compassion PTO is insane (they only want you to use 20 hours per quarter despite illness or the amount of PTO you have) Homophobic management Extremely anal about metrics and by extremely, I mean if you are one minute over they'll send you a chart showing the 60 second discrepancy For back story - I came to my manager due to a situation that had happened to me. It was important and the law was involved. My manager terminated me due to having complications regarding this situation.
