Pros

Remote is the only pro that I can say.

Cons

The organization was disorganized, and the management was poor. The training was confusing and time-consuming, especially considering the recent acquisition with Paycor. No one seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation, and most of the work was done without proper planning.
