Pros

As a salaried employee I receive FTO vs PTO, meaning I don't have a set number of days for sick time or vacation. I'm allowed to manage my time as needed. I'm also a WFH employee, so the flexibility works well for my families needs.

Cons

Being a WFH employee, I miss out on in-person events held in Des Moines or Charlotte. Our onboarding program needs beefed up and improved, but that is already in the works and I'm excited to see what comes from future changes.
