Pros

Benefits are above average. 401k, immediately vested and 5% match, generous PTO (but hard to use), multiple choices for healthcare insurance and includes dental and vision.

Cons

This is a dying company that is no longer viable in the industry it once dominated. There are serious issues with code of conduct within the US regions. Frightening stories and it appears senior leaders are ok with this management style. Toxic is a word that is used to describe the work environment. There is zero work/life balance due to the strategically created sense of fear that you will be fired if you are not always available. The standard the US operations and sales team is held to compared to the support staff is both frightening and comical. The support in Costa Rica, Mexico, Philippines and third party vendors is dismal. The impact of the high turn over, lack of training and knowledge of US operations makes it impossible for sales success. This is not a company you will feel valued, respected or should be thinking long term.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - only 3 days required in office

Cons

- Leadership does not foster a collaborative culture. Sometimes inappropriately mean, dismissive, toxic. - 3 days in office required. Seating is not assigned, so you do not have a guaranteed desk for your items unless you come in 4 days per week for 3 consecutive months.
