Pros

If you want to coast you can. Just act busy do your work and don't bring attention to yourself. If you want to climb a latter it can be difficult depending on where you're located and what role you start in. If you start as a coordinator you will be stuck for a long time unless you do a lot of extra "above and beyond" work.

Cons

The company has gone through significant rifts laying off 1000 people in 2023 which is the 3rd major lay off in like 4 or 5 years. The CEO "resigned" due to a PE firm taking a large stake in the company and forcing him out(don't really care he was just a ceo). The culture has changed significantly as well, They changed the corporate values to match their new initiatives such as 4 days back in the office as opposed to 3 in office and 2 from home. The Pay flat out is less than market rate and they will not give raises very easily you have to beg and plead for increases as we only receive 3% annually if you are lucky. Also they pay women significantly less than men at the lower levels from my experience.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
