      Pros

      Remote work and no budget for travel. Unlimited PTO but you will be forced to work on your PTO.

      Cons

      Awful, toxic leadership. Company is in financial trouble and they are a financial health company. Work 10-15 hour days. Most demanding work environment ever. Run away from this place!!! No pay increases and no bonuses.
