Pros

Freedom to make your own schedule, good perks, benefits are great.

Cons

They made changes to our pay structure and it has been a nightmare for those that have worked here for a long time. People coming in as a new employee will make more money than a person that has been there for years. That’s all do to how your route is setup and that is out of your hands. It’s very frustrating for a person to make at least 20k less in 2years then to have new people come in and make more than you.

Pros

Great management, interesting projects, and a very positive work environment. The team culture is strong, people are professional and respectful, and overall it feels like a great place to work. I really enjoy the type of work, the projects, and the way people collaborate with each other.

Cons

The main downside is that it can be difficult for contractors to transition into full-time roles. There seems to be a strong reliance on contract and offshore resources, so long-term internal opportunities may be limited depending on the business needs and hiring strategy.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
