Pros

great environment, inclusive and friendly employees. unlimited sick time.

Cons

you will earn every single penny and then some. do more with less is absolutely the moto here. the culture perpetuates working like a dog. i was worn down physically, emotionally, mentally. there is never a 'lull', never a moment to get caught up. the department fosters an attitude of just get it done not do it well. which is hard as an individual that takes pride in my work. I knew i was underpaid, the company actually had to increase pay due to an audit within the state. sad to think they knowingly underpaid and then increased the pay under the guise of you earned it when actually it was always owed.

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
