Vantaggi

Learned a lot. Made good friends.

Svantaggi

They do not train their managers. I was an administrative assistant and they asked me to train my new managers. Then they fire them. All the time. Every week all the time giving everyone horrible anxiety. I would get emails all the time that someone else was gone. And not just managers. The accountants. The admins. The HR people. The anxiety of being randomly fired gave me panic attacks. I would wake up in a cold sweat. Even I had little training and was just thrown into the mix. Then I had SO much work it was unreal. My job should have been for two people. Managers would pile junk on my desk all the time. Thinking I had time to scan in 1000's of documents. Get's better. I was hired with the understanding I would move into management. Then when I asked about it I was told that I was an admin and admins don't go into management and basically how could I be so foolish. But please train the new managers since you know more than they do. WOW! So I left and went with another management company and am a manager. They don't fire people every other day and I feel better now. Then I found out after I left that I was the lowest paid in my department. Tho I had the most managers and the most work. UGH!

Vantaggi

Great company culture with strong core values and a collaborative environment. As a remote employee, the flexibility and work-life balance are a huge plus. The IT environment is also very dynamic — there are multiple systems, platforms, and technologies in use, so the work rarely feels repetitive or boring. The company is supportive of employee growth and development, offering training opportunities and access to a large online learning library. Another positive sign is the number of long-term employees; many people have been with the company for 5+ years, which says a lot about overall employee satisfaction and stability.

Svantaggi

The company frequently changes business processes and technologies. While innovation is good, it can sometimes feel like just when you’ve fully mastered a system or workflow, a new tool or process is introduced. Workload can also fluctuate depending on business initiatives and project demands. Because it’s a large organization, there are a lot of layers of leadership — supervisors, managers, directors, VPs, etc. At times, it can be unclear who the correct point of contact or decision-maker is for certain situations.
