Pros

If you come from a competitor, they will pay RI&S will pay you well but after that you are lucky to get anything above 3%.

Cons

Zero work life balance (worked 8 to 8 with no OT pay)... don't trust all the LinkedIn advertisements that work life balance and 9/80s are a real thing, they aren't. Zero Planned work or decisions (you have to fire fight all day every day). Everything is reactive no actual forward thinking approach to anyone in Senior Leadership. Remote was a big selling point for them and they've quickly turned their back on those employees that they enticed to join them with that perk. Financial outlook has been horrible... just waiting on layoff announcements at the same time they need to hire more (like I said no forward thinking leadership)

Pros

9/80 and every 2nd Friday off, generous vacation time.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old and functions almost entirely on inertia. Senior Management is totally disconnected from the day to day, and it shows in the content of their "community" video meetings. They talk about diversity but have no interest in applying it. Most of the time they totally ignore the needs of their disabled employees.
