Pros

Compensation was fine for the industry.

Cons

Notified I was being laid off at 10 am. Access revoked to computer by noon. No prior notice given, no reason given other than "business performance" and needing to reduce costs. Business strategy is inorganic growth through market monopolization from acquiring competitors. "Diversity initiative" includes hiring white women in non-customer facing roles. No strategy involving sustainability in any impactful, measurable way.

Pros

-People here are great, I made friendships that go beyond the job. -The benefits are pretty good, employee contributions are on the lower end. I also appreciate the PTO day for community service and the fitness reimbursement plan. -I love the employee events like birthday treats (when they still had them) and the holiday party

Cons

-There is little to no internal promotion opportunities anymore. When roles have opened up, they have gone to external candidates, or they bring someone in from the location in Europe. -Patchy communications from corporate, as well as corporate boasting the record-breaking profits on the internet, and then our bonuses would get cut - left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. -Salaries are pretty frugal -Senior management seem to be in a micromanagement mindset and caring about the wrong things -HR and management have made some bad choices when it comes to employees lately that I don't agree with
