Pros

High salary with great medical benefit

Cons

From the get go there’s already so many red flags but I dismissed. Very toxic working environment with seniors who openly share their share of feeling threatened.

Badge Swipes Over Performance

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

401k has a good match.

Cons

The company mandates three days in the office and enforces it through badge swipe reports. Failure to comply can be reflected in raises or bonuses. Career growth is non existent. Pay transparency is ignored despite state law. Compensation is not up to market standard. Management is complacent and repeatedly hires underqualified people, then quietly assigns the rest of the team to train them, on top of their real jobs, without compensation or credit. “Own the Way You Work” means 3 days in office or you will be punished. This isn’t the place for experienced professionals, maybe good for newer employees entering the workforce.
