Pros

Easy to get time off, provides free employee luncheons, company gives to charities.

Cons

Very poor management. You can only move up if you becomes close friends with someone in a higher position. It's a dog eat dog environment where everyone is out for themselves. Seems more like being in high school than a professional environment. Internal HR is a joke which is very bad considering this is a company that sells HR services. If you do your job well you will be stuck and not able to move to a new department or role due to your manager not wanting to step up, you will do your job plus theirs. Very undervalued employees and low wages.

Pros

Great colleagues and previously great benefits and remote opportunities. I learned a lot in my role and was able to contribute to the development of my team's processes. A lot of training options including certificate tracks, wellness sessions and financial learning.

Cons

Frequent recurring layoffs, which results in a lot of insecurity and suspicion. Leadership decided to invest in new centers in Atlanta and India, reducing remote options and US-based roles, and offsite gatherings for several hundred employees right before a large, company-wide layoff. Very little opportunity for advancement or promotion.
