Business Outlook

Pros

Salaries are higher than they should be to be honest. The bonuses they added 2 years ago are great! 401k matching with an automtaic 6% right off the bat and HSA contributions/capability. Medical insurance is pretty bad now.

Cons

Most IT managers where I work are not up to par. They are managers grown within the LM system and offer no innovation or guidance. They are merely there to do performance reviews and approve change requests. They believe you don't need to be technical to lead technical people. To that I say you may as well have 0 technology knowledge and hire my Mom or Dad who have led way more people than these managers have led.
