Pros

If you like a start-up culture, where things move quickly with little direction or reasoning, then you'll like it here. Coworkers are very hardworking and friendly.

Cons

So many cons. Terrible benefits and pay. Almost embarrassing how little PTO and time off you get. Leaders, specifically the new leaders from Schulte, are the reason for all the budget cuts and mass layoffs. They're destroying an already fragile culture. The team members not laid off are stretched so thin and will more than likely leave. Don't trust anyone from the corporate team or any of the executive leaders. They clearly can't forecast or budget and are the reasons why the company is going down hill and having to sell off properties. I wouldn't be surprised if more layoffs are to come. HR can't support the amount of unsatisfied employees that are working for Graduate. Career growth and internal mobility doesn't exist. They care more about spending thousands of dollars on an internship program that leads to less than 10% conversion than they do on creating internal career paths. No clarity on how to hit quarterly incentive.
