Pros

The pay is above-average; insurance benefits are good; management stays out of your way for the most part. Relaxed environment. You're given a lot of leeway to do your job, as long as you do it well. Good attitude towards employee continuing education.

Cons

The vacation is a joke (9-10 days per year for the first 4-5 years; cannot cash out or roll over to the next year, and VERY difficult to take more than 1 week at a time). Local management is good, but senior/upper management fails to communicate on a frequent basis. If there are opportunities for advancement, they are not well communicated. Bar-S will support you if you want to further your education, but they won't suggest it themselves or work it into your career path.

Pros

Good benefits, some supportive colleagues.

Cons

Salaries are below average. If you're Hispanic, you may be very well doing less than the rest of the people with the same role. Started remote, pushed gradually to RTO more than the days role required because of manager's power trip. Be prepared many of your days in a month to be fully taken to ever lasting meetings in a room with lunch time included there. If you have social anxiety, you're doomed. Never heard of a company that can move you to a new team as if you were a chess piece. They will move you to open space for new people that are relatives to other employees. Nest of nepotism coming from the allies that have been growing their buddies' club. Year reviews are done with a group of people to rate you, without you being present nor knowing anything about what was said. Only until after your score has been decided, you can find out. This will be the result of what comes in your evaluation, not from your real results. Unfairly, managers don't get rated by reports. It's a roulette, you could land at a great team or be prepared for a very toxic experience. In my 15 years of experience never felt so unsafe in expressing myself than there. Many people won't reply to your messages on Teams, even after a few messages were exchanged already, I found this rude and unfortunately a very widespread practice across different teams. As long as you have a good standing with managers you'll survive. Overall it can turn really toxic. I'm even surprised Glassdoor's ratings are that high. Last but not least, don't trust anyone, just talk about the weather until you find someone nice to talk to.
