Pros

Has great benefits. Ecofriendly. Pet insurance health insurance 401k paid time off sick leave burreavement jury duty pay

Cons

Schedules are awful. They will make you work 4 hours a day for 5 days a week. They dont even look at the schedules before giving you them sometimes and will have you on schedule all 7 days of the sunday through saturday week. Schedules will go against your availability. There will normally only be one person scheduled on a sunday for the busy hours. managers will not care or help. If you need your breaks u need to plan them way ahead of time and hope that you can manage to take them. Then they also try and give too many tasks and spread you thin and complain when you cant do half of them because you dont have enough time, and the time they think you do have you have to manage watching kids.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
