Pros

Products and services are easy to believe in. Mission of helping people is easy to buy into

Cons

Many of my peers who all have worked here for years have seen their person lives deteriorate over time. There are tons of resources and things that say how great of a press there is for work life balance, but resources are constantly being cut, not back filled, more pressure is placed on employees to give more. I had grown to have no life I was my own administrative assistant, sales assistant, schedule manager, and still expected to meet outstanding constantly ballooning goals with less resource.

Pros

Pay and benefits. Leaders within department org are great. Awesome people to work with day to day

Cons

Senior leaders at top of org are meh. Talks of 5 days a week in office very soon. It feels there is a lot less flexibility than before covid with a lot of badge report monitoring and micromanaging everyone to be in office for 8 hours. Whereas before pandemic it was a lot more lenient to go to doctor appt or child care without worry of retaliation that I didn't hit my days in office this week without a documented reason
