Pros

1. Good people trying to do the right thing. 2. Benefits were pretty good. 3. Business decisions did not cascade down

Cons

Salaried team is understaffed and no development and or growth offered. Very political and good people get frustrated by antiquated policies. No incentive to "change" and the culture is mired in the past.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
