Pros

Here's the comprehensive list of good things: - - -

Cons

- Culture is extremely negative; leadership openly treats employees with disdain. - Onboarding process is painfully obfuscated. There's no support from corporate; you have to get help from other recent hires to make sense of the systems. - Leadership is continually highlighting the fact that it's a low budget company. "We didn't win this contract by being high on cost. That's why you need to bring your own toilet paper to the office."

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
