Pros

- 100% remote positions available - Stable employment with a company that's been around for over 100 years - Supportive of personal development opportunities - All but 1 of my leaders were truly interested in me as a person - Highly ethical company - CEO Dan Houston is very down to earth and relatable

Cons

- Benefits are decent, but have declined in recent years - I felt pigeonholed in my role and was unsuccessful in multiple attempts to transfer to a different department/job function
