      At least the Fridays off give you time to apply to other jobs!

      Pros

      Having Fridays off is nice. I use Friday to submit resumes to other companies. 401k match is decent.

      Cons

      Salaries are notably below what competitors offer for similar roles, making it difficult to justify staying long-term. Management quality is inconsistent at best. Don’t expect strong leadership, mentorship, or advocacy from most managers
