Pros

Decent pay and benefits, room for growth, good job security (because of high demands and low man power), challenging work, and really smart people.

Cons

A lot of overtime and working weekends are required. Terrible work life balance. Managers come in late, leave early, and are hands off. Work is expected while on PTO. Leadership asks a lot of it's employees yet doesn't hold itself to the same high standards of hard work, long hours, and high stress. Favoritism in promotions encourages a cutthroat and manipulative environment. Leadership is ignorant to miserable employees, low morale, and unrealistic expectations.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
