CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great medical and dental benefits. Employee stock purchase plan. Great place to work if your not trying to advance your career

Cons

The company over the last 5 to 6 years has lost their way. Quality and standards are lower then before. No more RSU's as part of their employment benefits. Management is terrible and does not recognize workers good or bad. Solid to work at for a steady 2 to 3% raise year over year

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Management is actually willing to listen to concerns Job is very flexible in terms of hours Hybrid work schedule

Cons

Lots of work to be done. Sometimes you will be on your computer at midnight to get something to work, but can be done remotely usually Customers can be annoying in how much work they ask for. It seems like they prefer to work hard instead of work smart Very Horizontal company so not too much mobility, but there will be pay raises
