Pros

It pays your bills for the most part

Cons

Unquestionably the most toxic work environment I've experienced in my 20 year career. Director that openly yells at employees, highly political culture, no standards, completely arbitrary performance standards, charge PTO when the office is shut and power is out during hurricanes. ZERO resolution from HR. About 50% attrition in the 7 months I've been in my group. Most new employees that joined since I've been here have already quit, some without other jobs. We have some good low level employees and a few good managers but they are totally at the mercy of incompetent and vindictive directors, complicit HR and the radioactive culture.

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.

Pros

Excellent Work Life Balance, Good Salary and Benefits.

Cons

No incentives to succeed. Very few rewards, awards, and bonuses. Culture is not customer or team focused; Upper management do not respond to functional area issues and would rather unfairly correct behavior of complainers. Way too much focus on wokeness with controlled behavior and silly Zero Harm program.
