Pros

None. Not a single one.

Cons

1. Pay. They couldn’t pay me enough to work for this company. The pay is soooo low for a project manager. 2. Hours you’re working. Zero flexibility. If you need to come in 15 minutes late, you lose 15 minutes of your lunch even if you’re a salary employee. Even if in 2 months you’re gonna be working on a project that will take 3X the amount of time you normally work. 3. The training that you sit in for the first two months that you work there is the biggest waste of time. 4. You have to track every second that you’re working on something. This never made sense to me because if I was going and getting coffee or running to the bathroom or stopping to chat with somebody and ask them a question I felt like I was “stealing time” Because I would mark my task down and I wasn’t actually doing that for the 10 minutes I wasn’t sitting at my computer. 5. People that work here are rude. No one is social. If you have a question, you are guaranteed to get funny looks. 6. If you’re going to have important conversations that involve decisions that are being made companywide Make sure that you’re in a soundproof room. I constantly was listening to a manager complain about the people on their team and the lack of skills they had.

Pros

Been here a while and glad I stuck it out. Things have gotten a lot better with new leaders and so far they've done a pretty good job changing things. Its definitely going in the right direction and we're hiring some really great people. The HR lady and the new managers seem to care about the people here. I hope they stick with it long enough to make all the positive changes they talk about. Benefits are really good plus we get a ton of PTO. Be nice to stay a while and see how this turns out.

Cons

Still a lot of baggage to work through especially with some of the people who have been here a really long time. I like my team but the complaining about the good old days is lame. It's 2026 people, just move on and deal with it. Things have changed everywhere. We're lucky to have ANY remote days. The micromanagement is still kinda demoralizing but my manager is cool so it doesn't really affect me. It's a drag that some people had to make it hard for the rest of us. Hopefully they'll see that we're all doing the right things now and reward that more.
