Pros

You get a newer company vehicle with insurance paid for. You get a monthly allowance to pay for gas, cell phone, and any other expenses you incur, but when cost of that is used up and you have to use your own money to pay for gas, etc...

Cons

Company and management have a disillusioned perception of work-life balance. Vacation time is never used up due to company initiatives and focus on making sure objectives are always met. You don't get paid time off, thier idea of paid time off is making sure your month is not pro-rated for residuals you work hard to maintain.

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.
