Pros

- Good Health, Dental, Vision - "Unlimited" PTO - Company says all the right stuff when it comes to being "employee friendly" - A variety of flexible working arrangements - Pay was competitive at best - Depending on position, you get a bonus

Cons

- Salaried with the expectation that you work over 40 hours a week - Deliberately understaffed - Good luck using any of that PTO as it is always at manager's discretion - Since PTO is "Unlimited", all that time off you can't use is never compensated for with a cash out - Good luck using a flexible work arrangement - For advancement, playing office politics is more important than performance or ability - Someone who works 100 hours a week but produces poor results is viewed more favorable than someone who works 40 hours a week and produces good results - Butt kissing culture - Favor contractors to avoid giving benefits wherever possible - Inflexible and unadaptable management
