Pros

Flexible work/life balance Not many micro-managers Good training Customers respect the company and its reps

Cons

Mandated policy to pay below industry median Non-existent annual pay rises - seek promotions rather than a good annual review. Toxic culture where many staff are out to look good and protect themselves rather than collaborate. Tight with money but wasteful at the same time. Could spend money in better ways. Promotions are political. They always hire with a set person in mind after having ‘conversations that didn’t happen’

Pros

Company perks- weekly happy hours, sleep pods, full gym and fitness classes, and dog therapy once a month

Cons

Not very many cons. It can be tough to move up, and communication is a bit of a challenge, but other than that it's a great place to work
