Pros

Working with Technology can be very enjoyable and rewarding. Local Management was willing to listen and fight for their employees.

Cons

Lacked clear direction Treated employees as if they didn't care if you stayed or left Not willing to compete in smaller markets, so customer base slowly left for better offerings Grew too fast and forgot about the principles and customers that got the company where they are today. Disorganized and lacked creativity and vision

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
