Pros

Great product and strong history - decent benefits- great technical knowledge-employees are dedicated and hard working- capital investment and interest in giving back to the community.

Cons

Since the economy tanked there has been a tendency to intimidate workers. As is now becoming part of the great American tradition fewer people must fill in for those that have been retired or laid off. People must be careful about what they say, there is a great fear to be seen as disposable. Leadership much more concerned with public relations and appearances than actually providing employees with recognition, basic clean work areas. Yes, we have a new fitness center but since working 12 hours a day is expected, you don't have much chance to use it. If you have a company phone, you are on 24/7 and better not forget to be available. Don't come here iif you have a college degree and want to grow. It is too bad, used to be a great company but leadership has shown that it has no interest in employees, it is all about appearances and revenue. You get the feeling that they are minutes away from putting you on the auction block.

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
