Pros

Good benefits. Less competitive since they have a group commission.

Cons

The micro management of every little interaction was annoying. And if your manager isn't a people person like mine it was a pretty uncomfortable job to be in. Confusing training program. Nobody could explain to me why I was taking 2 training courses at the same time.

Pros

The pay is decent and you won't need to work hard.

Cons

Management is layered like an onion (2-3 tiers of "authority" in meetings; micromanagement). Most management has been there >10 years, resulting in complacency, entitlement, and mediocrity (that's being generous). When suggesting a new way of setting goals for operations, as one of my first big projects, I was told that I "shouldn't have any ideas at my level" and to do it the way they did it in the past, which project stakeholders unanimously agreed did not work. HR Director doubled down and told me the same thing and that "they do things differently" than the tech company I came from. No appetite for growth or human decency (my manager never even asked me the name of my kids or a single question about my family or hobbies... in >4 months). If you like to talk about golf and be shut down every time you speak by someone who wears flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts, work here!
