Pros

Nice offices and amenities; pizza parties and other social events; work/life balance is fine for exempt (hourly) staff

Cons

-With the pandemic, a significant number of administrative staff was (silently) laid off and no raises/promotions were issued, yet the company boasts that they far exceeded revenue goals this year (wonder why...). Morale is low. People are overworked and highly stressed. -The management in my particular department is notably unprofessional. I have truly never witnessed such disrespectful behavior in a workplace before. Possible nepotism. Extremely poor project planning. -The health insurance is not great for staff who don't make six figures and can only afford the HDHP.

Pros

Support staff has been fantastic for career development. Wonderful people to work with and I feel that it has been challenging in a motivational way to keep me developing my skillset.

Cons

I do think that I'm being slightly underpaid but the benefits of working here outweigh that.
