Pros

Anthem BCBS PPO was offered as insurance. It was okay, but copays and certain prescriptions could be pricey. Pay was decent, hours were consistent.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Sub par supervisors and managers. (They obviously have no experience whatsoever and cannot help employees with basics) HR department is an absolute joke. None of them should be qualified to run anything in there. (They promise benefits on day one, you won’t see them until 90 days in. And even when you have accumulated PTO, they tell you that you don’t have it.) Everyone has nicknames for upper management and it’s not good. The employees make fun of upper management on every break they have. And sexual harassment is never taken care of. More than one instance of that happening. Finally, mandated OT that was not optional. Even if you go above and beyond, and the rest of your “team” is slacking, everyone is punished with mandated OT.
