Pros

My manager is very flexible with me and allows for autonomy to complete my duties

Cons

-Annual raises (if you get one) are a 2% increase if you score 5 out of 5. This is based on your annual performance review. However, managers in each department are given percentages for the amount of employees that have to be in each score. So ultimately your score has little do with your actual performance and more to do with their key metrics. -
