Pros

Good pay, good benefits like decent pto accumulation and okay healthcare costs

Cons

Management is a joke, I imagine this is definitely location dependent but if your manager doesn’t have you in their list of favorites they can and will make your day a living nightmare with no repercussions since HR only exists to back up management decisions because managers are infallible and unbiased. No accountability for anything and god forbid you point out anything that should be fixed, especially loved when they tried to force every part time employees to give them basically full time availability and only refused to admit their mistake when employees backlashed against it

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
