Pros

Good people, makes the job better. It's rare to find a team where everyone's so helpful and genuinely cares. Salary's about average, could be better or worse depending, but the coworkers are fantastic.

Cons

Management exhibits a pattern of issuing directives without adequate employee consultation or feasibility assessment, often disregarding potential adverse consequences. Tenured managers demonstrate a lack of adaptability and engage in behaviors perceived as gaslighting. The organization experiences a high rate of employee attrition due to unsustainable workloads and inefficient systems. Management prioritizes expedient solutions that frequently generate downstream complications. Performance evaluations are perceived as retaliatory for employees who raise concerns or challenge management decisions. While standard benefits are offered, career advancement opportunities appear contingent upon conforming to highly specific and idiosyncratic managerial preferences.
