Pros

Generous PTO and almost every holiday off (except Veteran's Day), Summer outing at Canobie

Cons

They continue to increase in office days (3 starting in Sept 2024) and do not listen to feedback from employees on their preferences. Managers are encouraged by upper management to deny PTO requests. CEO is out of touch with what employees want for work life balance. I can see this turning to 5 days in the office as time goes on because every year they have been adding one additional in office today. Benefits are good but that is their excuse for low pay. Used to be a good place to work but now it's all about control and micro-managing from upper management.

Pros

Overall, it’s not the worst place to work, but there are several shortcomings the company needs to address. The biggest positive is the people — about 95% of the team was great to work with and genuinely trying to do their best for the company and for themselves. The 401(k) match is strong, though it does require several years of employment before fully vesting. The overall benefits package is average — not exceptional, but generally decent.

Cons

Below‑market compensation and less‑than‑desirable annual raises and bonuses. Increases at the time of promotions were often limited due to a lack of employee leverage. Long‑term employees were not brought up to market rates, while new hires frequently came in earning more than those with tenure and proven performance. Subpar HR team — they are focused solely on protecting the company rather than supporting employees. Unfair practices regarding hybrid and remote schedules. Many employees are allowed to work remotely while the company preaches to the rest that remote work is not an option. Even individuals on the same team or within the same department are given different arrangements. Senior staff are often granted privileges that their direct reports are denied. They heavily preach cost‑cutting, yet allow certain teams to be wasteful and fund perks or community engagement events that fall short of their goals and misuse resources.
