Pros

Benefits are good. 401k Match is nice. They let us wear jeans on Friday and from Memorial Weekend to Labor day they let you off 2hrs early on Friday but still pays you for the 2hrs.

Cons

This is not a career. They ask you to do projects a certain way, the slow and very slow way. They do not care about working efficiently cause they want to have control over you. Very close minded, and do not want your find back. No matter what you talk about they have done it better, and will always, and sad to say they will always try to one up you. Now if you try to better the department, you will have issues with the management, and technology. What I have learned is you can try your hardest here,. Be the most loyal employee, but when review times come, they will find items that you do not use at all to penalize you so they do not have to give to an increase in salary. Try and argue with them, nothing. It is a real joke. Yes, I still work here. I have a family. Once I find the opportunity that fits my family, I am out of here.

Pros

G o o d team mates

Cons

The return-to-office policy makes zero sense. It’s clearly about control, not productivity. Work that was done just fine remotely now requires sitting in an office for no real reason. Commutes are a waste of time and money, and morale has taken a hit. Leadership talks about flexibility but doesn’t actually practice it. It feels disconnected from reality.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on Glassdoor about our return to the office—your feedback truly means a lot to us as we navigate this transition together. Your points regarding the commute, increased expenses, and the effect on morale are important, and we understand how these factors can influence both job satisfaction and overall performance. The intention behind the policy was never to diminish the trust we have in our team, nor to undermine the flexibility that has been such a vital part of our culture. Instead, the goal has been to foster collaboration and maintain our shared sense of community. A special thanks to those who have already been commuting and working onsite full-time—we really appreciate your dedication and flexibility. Now, with everyone joining together in our new space, we have a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our sense of community and spark even more collaboration. Warm regards, FTJ Representative
