Pros

Fair pay for those in G&A, access to leadership teams and cross functional work. Exposure to all departments and insights on how they operate . This is a great learning opportunity for those early in their career, gain the knowledge and move on.

Cons

Toxic leadership that constantly talks down to you and doesn’t respect your time, effort or you as a human. There is a significant amount of turnover in the Finance department and it is mostly because no one wants to work with senior leadership. Instead of addressing the root cause, they keep bringing in new people that don’t last more than 1.5 years. Because of this the, team is understaffed and overworked.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
