Pros

Discount on product, pto is fair.

Cons

There is little room to grow as a manager. They will weed you out if you are not liked. They keep those around who are a threat for fear of DEI. I was moved to a shift that did not exist so they could keep an eye on me. Knowing my religious affiliation, they put me on a special schedule that accommodated Sundays off, despite I never requested the exemption. I worked nights to avoid special treatment. So, they did me a "favor". Which meant I did not work with my team. 25% of the week. Which makes it look like I got special treatment. They then hounded me all the time, despite our improvements. No support from my manager, then I was put on a PIP, and termed. My boss said I'd be happier elsewhere. No, I'd be happier not being unemployed.

Pros

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Cons

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
