Vantaggi

The internship program is great, especially if you get an internship say the corporate office. Stay away from ProGen, though. I did make a lot of great friends, though.

Svantaggi

I worked at the ProGenealogists office in downtown SLC. There was zero room to grow and management hates squeaky wheels. They give employees outrageous and impossible monthly goals. They don't pay a salary that makes it possible to live there. I made $17 an hour and my monthly rent in Salt Lake City was $1100 a month. They say they want to groom the future of genealogists but don't want to make any effort to do so they get rid of anyone under 30 and replace them with folks over 60 who have no corporate genelogy experience. They end up fired, and the turnover rate for emoyees is disgusting there because of it. Don't ever speak your mind about issues or they'll find a way to get you on the chopping block. All management there cares about it numbers. The employees at ProGen might as well be prisoners with a number instead of a name. I frequently faced harassment from coworkers. When a complaint was filed with HR, they told me that since I wasn't a "protected class" that my harassment didn't count and they blew it off.

There is always a learning curve when joining a new company, especially while understanding internal systems and processes, but the team has been very supportive.

Vantaggi

The work-life balance is pretty good. I have never had issues taking time off when I needed to. The pay and benefits are on par with other, similar jobs in the area. There are many long-time employees at the company.

Svantaggi

The company is product-led, so leadership is more concerned with shipping new features than they are with making sure what they have already shipped works well. Restricted stock unit grants always come with a one year vesting cliff, whether an employee has worked at the company for two years or twenty years. They do not appear to trust that long-time employees will continue to stay at the company, even though they have many long-time employees.
