good payshop in compensation and decent benefits

Cons

senior management doesnt communicate very well with employees top performers really have to struggle to make things happen in very tiered setup(with lot of inefficiency in the process) Working from home is a big NO NO.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
