Pros

Just the benefits and pay is okay.

Cons

Where do I start.... -We are using our own PERSONAL computers for work! -Had to build my own office at home w/ desk chair and monitors for this company (To be fair, I was aware of the top 2, but I made an exception when I accepted the offer) -NO ORIENTATION!!!!!! I have to IDEA what was what, still in the dark for quite a few things. -I'm in HR and did not have HR to provide me with a personalized experience for my first 2 weeks to guide me in ANYTHING. -You cannot speak to anyone in HR personally, everything needs a case to be created. For example, I had questions about how much time I accrue, I had to open a case for them to email me back and forth on it. When a 5 min phone call or orientation would of clarified that question. -We use Zoom for meetings but have to use our own devices, cannot use it through the work portal we log into. -The recruiter lied to me about annual bonuses, my role does not receive any bonuses. -it takes a year to be able to post internally for another role -They are slowly headed towards the micromanaging-route -Management are not leaders, they are not trying to develop you to move further into your careers. -Training was a complete Joke, we were in real ppls accounts. Then we get audited for them to ask what were we doing in those files (which management did not tell us about) -Now we are back in office Hybrid style, the building is open seating. -I have to LUG my own personal items such as mouse pad, key pad, phone older (for our zoom meetings), back pad, blankets , headphones and etc -They will communicate something to the entire organization but have not informed managers or have a plan prior to sending emails. JUST POOR COMMUNICATION IN GENERAL.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
