Pros

I have some wonderful colleagues who I enjoy working with. Benefits are ok.

Cons

You have to drink the kool-aid with the M1st “family” stuff even though it’s really just a boys’ network at the leadership level. The org had a record year and is growing despite the pandemic, so we were rewarded for our hard work with . . . branded jackets. Unbelievable. People want PTO or a bonus! No one wants a jacket! But that’s the kool-aid talking.

Pros

Flexible Schedule on the business team. 401(k) is amazing. Healthcare is great.

Cons

Poor leadership across the board starting with VPs. C-Suite claims to be transparent, but then people (VPs) who are friends with the CEO get hired out of the blue. Poor PTO plan. No cost of living adjustments on already poor salaries. Does not value tenured employees. Prefers to hire new, cheap labor instead of treating invaluable tenured employees with dignity and a fair pay.
