    Pros

    It's looks good on your resume and is a great conversation starter.

    Cons

    It is grunt work. You will be over worked and underpaid. There is not a clear structure or metrics to meet and as a result, you won't be given feedback from your managers on how you can improve or help on your trajectory. You're evaluated on how quickly you accurately you can complete a task rather than how much you fully understand the task you're performing. You will receive a $0.50 merit raise a year that's based on the cost of living.

    Personnel Progress is not the Priority

    Dec 4, 2020 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great benefits, competitive healthcare, taking good care of employees through COVID, generally positive work environment.

    Cons

    Where they excel in benefits and healthcare, they lack in salary. No formal performance evaluation system exists, so employees barely advance financially or positionally despite years of hard work and dedication. You will be stuck at the salary and role in which you enter the company until you crack from frustration and bring it up to your superior, and then go through 6 months of runaround before the needle moves. HR focuses on pretty much any perk or program they can put into effect to distract from their years-overdue neglect to implement a scheduled raise and evaluation protocol. Management not held accountable for having or not having those developmental conversations with their employees either. Lots of passing the blame for this problem up and down the ranks because nobody wants to take the time to fix it.

    Pros

    Love my work responsibilities, teammates, boss, and the current work from home situation. Company prefers to promote from within. Also a big fan of our benefits and PTO!

    Cons

    The pay isn't the most competitive in the industry, and it seems like the baseline salaries for subsequent roles aren't being adjusted annually to account for inflation.
