    May 17, 2023 - IT Manager in Cleveland, OH

    Pros

    Lots of internal opportunities to improve and progress up through the company if you don't mind having your manager changed 2 to 3 times a year due to company infrastructure changes.

    Cons

    Huge amounts of transformation and change with ambiguous and ever-changing management structure and fewer employees since many people left when remote work policy changed. Company forcing remote positions to go away after proving work can be done successfully or even better in some cases makes no sense to people.
