Pros

- Co-workers are great and the small business feel is really nice. - Benefits aside from PTO are good

Cons

- No official way of logging hours worked for salaried employees (makes you feel like you could easily be exploited) - Because of there being no official hour tracking system the time off/vacation is all on the honor system and your manager can turn your request down at any point even if you are trying to use personal days for important reasons. - The PTO does not roll over and your boss can decline your wish to use them so even if you start with a reasonable amount it doesn't mean you can use it. - The culture is a work first and do anything else later view. NOT at all a good work life balance (makes you nervous to go home) - The upper management refuses to put money into a good system that would promote efficiency and instead would rather stick to paper and overwork its employees.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
