Pros

Initial pay was very attractive but they had to pay well to get top talent to come to the suburbs.

Cons

No raises year after year, which is not communicated to you in the interview process. No flexibility, no work from home opportunities. Processes and thinking very outdated and management is unwilling to change or even entertain that there may be a better way to do something to create efficiencies because they have been doing it the same way for the last 20 years. If you ask staff why they are doing something a certain way, their answer is “because we always have”...they don’t understand what they are doing. Discriminatory unless you look like them. Team building is discouraged, unfortunately upper management does not want to improve the very bad morale. Blatant unfair favoritism for employees that are related to the CEO and CFO. Certain director-level personnel lack the professional knowledge, wisdom & ability to lead...not technically sharp so micromanages silly things. Terrible management that does not know how to lead a team. Forward thinkers are discouraged because they might bring attention to others' incompetence. New ideas or suggestions are shot down instantly. Absolutely zero culture and very unwelcoming to new employees. It's like stepping back in time. Old technology. Outdated software. If you are looking for a progressive company where you will be encouraged to think and be developed, this is not the company for you. There are so many other great companies out there.

Pros

• Good in office dynamic with coworkers for those who worked in office

Cons

• Delayed promotion/raise - you’ll sign a contract in which your raise will be effect but delay it 2 1/2 months • unfair workload - management plays favorite and doesn’t even bother intervening on the issue, rather just gives more work. Multiple times I caught myself doing the work for my peers. • No structure - the office I worked at completely lacked structure where I was shadowing a colleague for 2 weeks before being expected to know what to do • Collision w/ OOO Staff - the out of office staff was very rude at times and because they aren’t in office, management doesn’t push the standards/expectations on them as much as people in office
