Pros

You get paid. Whatever benefits they offer. etc They pay about average to the market. Maybe below average for some devs.

Cons

- Frustrating vibe coded internal tools we're eventually be all forced to use. - SDLC process that changes excessively - Setup for failure and quick to have the fingers pointed at you. - Numerous experienced people have left the company. - Unreasonable overtime. - Projects canceled after people have been working on it for months. Some of them already completed or on the verge of completion. - Upper management will strategic present things as positive when it's not. We can tell very quickly they're not genuinely positive. - We're expected to perform at the highest standards yet management doesn't seem to lead by example.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
