Pros

Work life balance and nice colleagues

Cons

When you resign, beware if you have any trips booked because Stacy Fontana will ask you to reimburse the company for any leftover funds that was caused due to your cancellation. Signs of a petty manager and one that is not great to ever work for. Luckily, HR said that wasn’t an issue and at the end of the day we are talking about a refund of less than $10

Pros

The benefits are about standard and they did give yearly increases when the company was struggling, albeit very small it was still better than nothing.

Cons

Little to no opportunity for advancement or training. Lack of integrity in Executive management and Board of Directors (6 months after laying-off 500+ people and 3 months after giving promotions without pay increases the Executives received 7 digit bonuses.
