Pros

Decent pay depending on role and department.

Cons

Horrible communication. Ignores all feedback from employee surveys, worst merit increases and bonuses in years. Acquired Paycor, and everything has been a mess since. Senior leadership only cares about lining their own pockets and not setting up their employees for success.
