Pros

People there easy to get a long with.

Cons

Don't bother asking for ADA or FMLA if you don't want to get Black Listed in the Orem Utah office. The HR department is terrible and unprofessional. They do not get to you in a timely manner and when they do...they go off the walls on you like if you did something wrong. The Upper Manager loves hiring externally...so if you try to move up in the company...you better start being best friends with them and do everything they ask of you. Work/Life Balance only becomes a thing if you have FMLA or ADA...but you wont get paid, and they look at you like your illness is the worst thing ever.

Pros

Office is conveniently accessed by public transportation

Cons

If you're not a software engineer there's little to no room for career development. Pay is significantly less than market rate. For example Associate, Merchandising, Operations or Customer service roles pay between 38-50k. Software Engineers have start near 90k. Some departments have extreme micromanaging. For example I have to sit at my desk for 7 hours a day and my every movement is tracked.
