Pros

You do get the summer off if you are a 10 month employee. This season is was 9.5 weeks. But not enough over the 2 months to file for unemplyment. Closed at Christmas but can no longer carry over.

Cons

No notice about having to cram all unused vacation days into 2 months time since they decided (overnight) to change poicy and then put a freeze on the last two months of the year. Everyone in my department (and many others, due to management) walk on eggshells everyday. There is NO, absoultely no fun to be had. Forget about having relationships with your fellow employees, there is no one I know that works harder anywhere. There is no time extra... they make sure of that!

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
