Pros

Lower levels of management are strong Corporate culture for maintaining work/life balance is strong Benefits are stronger than average market

Cons

Poor Communication from Upper Management Year over year pool for raises continues to shrink (50% reduction in available funds for 2026 increases) while CEO sends out emails extolling how well the company is doing financially. Pay ranges for trying to bring new hires onboard are wildly out of line with market conditions in most areas of the US

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
