Pros

-friendly coworkers, everyone is very polite and helpful - decent pay - room to grow -good benefits & tuition reimbursment

Cons

—All flexibility was taken away when we returned to the office full time, and we were given less than a week warning. It doesn’t matter if you have a disability, no hybrid schedules. The best they could do was unpaid leave. - constant organizational changes that create more work for an understaffed department - With the new interim CEO it feels like we are at the mercy of an awful mayor. He wants us back in the office? We go.
