Pros

Salary Compensation is high. Product itself is innovative and strong

Cons

Leadership is militaristic. Tops down. Have to meddle in everything. Don't trust people who have 10+ 15+ years in their field. They will always think they know better. They want to hire fast and fire faster. Maybe not layoffs (though they've done plenty of those) but they will constantly churn through Director+'s Think about why that is happening. Why is it a habit.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
