Pros

Mostly everyone is very collegial. Attorneys are nice and appreciative. HR teams are very collaborative and friendly. The benefits are decent. My manager specifically was absolutely fantastic (supportive, responsive, knowledgeable, transparent).

Cons

Some things can be very outdated (like tracking PTO on a spreadsheet). There's a lot of red tape when trying to improve processes. HRIS makes it difficult to better the systems we use. Some benefits could be better (like wellness or work from home reimbursements).
