Pros

There are many hard working people who keep the organization running.

Cons

Working here is extremely challenging due to a lack of support and direction. Employees are overworked, communication is inconsistent, and decisions often ignore data or basic analytics. There are many leaders, but very little actual leadership; lots of people giving orders, few helping get the work done. Processes are manual, which creates unnecessary stress and errors on a daily basis. When issues arise and leadership is notified, they blame the individual contributors for their lack of oversight, leadership, & resources, instead of putting safeguards in place to help employees create a stable & successful work environment. Overall, a frustrating and unsustainable work that will continue to hemorrhage employees because they do not care to improve processes or train employees on necessary functions.

Pros

Good benefits, company matching for 401k

Cons

Toxic work environment where we are required to work overtime to meet project deadlines but are not compensated fairly. Bonuses are not always paid out even for stellar performance.
