Pros

Many remote employees and flexibility to work from home Employees are nice and care about each other Some people are sharp Lower stress

Cons

The company has no direction and acquires other companies on the cheap. The different businesses then work in silos with no overall integration. Products are outdated and the company does very little to update them or listen to customers desire for specific content. Raises are non-existent, benefits are poor, numerous projects fall through the cracks because of little accountability and a total lack of oversight. Sales/tech/marketing all do not work together and point fingers at the other when things don't get done. You will not get ahead here and will stagnate in your role. The company does not invest in its own employee growth, despite being a training company. Compensation is below market average. Sleepy company that does not adapt to the needs of the market place and increased competition. Many people hide out here and collect a paycheck.

Pros

Great coworkers and nice clients/customers. Teammates care about one another.

Cons

Salary is dreadful; embarrassingly low compared to standard and they don't even do cost of living adjustments. You will NEVER get a raise so they don't even both with yearly reviews. Benefits keep getting cut and weren't great in the first place. Lost vision this year and dental the year before that. If you want to cover your family for medical it cost around $1500 out of pocket per month for a family of four - no joke! Leadership communication to employees is abysmal. There is no sense of vision or direction. Very silo-ed and splintered. Career growth/advancement is non-existent.
