Pros

If you live in suburbs near University Park, this is a great commute. Depending on where you are coming from, it's the reverse commute, so little traffic. Overall, the building is clean and people are pleasant. Benefits are adequate, and there are other little perks. Training classes are helpful. Great place to get experience and then move on to bigger and better career opportunities.

Cons

Salary is on the lower end. Communication is often poor. Some management is in place because of the fact that they know someone higher up. They are subsequently not always the most knowledgeable and professional at their jobs and tend to micro-manage (sometimes to the point of borderline harassment) those under them to mask the fact that they themselves are not the most qualified. Additional/longer breaks are allowed for those who smoke.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
