Pros

Good people. That’s about it.

Cons

1. Terrible benefits; no 401k, expensive health insurance with less coverage and HSA contribution, work from home or flexibility is non existent, no gym or gym reimbursement, the list goes on. 2. Lack of diversity. The old white Caucasian men run the show here. 3. Antique technology. Basic is two centuries behind, paystub were literally mailed out. Paper envelope paystubs in 2020! Before I left they were supposed to move to workday, what should’ve happened decades ago. Every single department is literally centuries behind in technology. 4. There’s no culture here. 5. They charged employees $50 for parking biweekly in addition to expensive benefits and low pay. 6, growth, what growth? No growth here. People don’t go up they go down in pay here in the form of furloughs higher healthcare and eliminated 401k. 7. The ceo, Keith, seems pretty nice. But Keith being nice doesn’t pay my bills. 8. Instability. All it takes is for oil price to go down then they start furloughed, reducing the already low pay with too many expensive deductions. You might be foreclosed on your home. People here don’t leave because they want to but because they have to.
