Salary - B | Culture - F | Management - C | Coworkers - F

Pros: - 401k matching - ESPP - Generous PTO Offering
Cons: - Terrible work life balance. They basically expect you to work nights for free during their "peak" season to get anything done. - So uselessly bureaucratic that I'm surprised anything ever gets done. Good luck getting a promotion. - Refuse to hire full-time in the US even though they made billions of dollars in previous quarters. Reasoning is lack of profits.

- Figure out that hiring/losing contractors over and over wears on your team and wastes everyone's time. - Either pay salary folks OT or figure out how to compensate them for your dumb peak season hours. Working nights and weekends should not be the norm.

Salary - D | Culture - D | Management - C | Coworkers - D

Pros: Remote work Flexible hours Average Pay
Cons: Leadership is inept Micro managed Constantly changing procedures

Put the proper leadership in place. Create an environment where you don't constantly feel like you might be terminated. Executive Leadership needs to monitor senior leadership to see how they treat their employees.

Salary - C | Culture - F | Management - F | Coworkers - F

Pros: PTO & benefits 401k match
Cons: No work life balance, many people work nights and weekends beyond regular day times hours, not to mention regular day time hours can be 10+ any given day. Management is forced to give people negative reviews in order to include them in their next round of layoffs. Recent layoffs on 10/17 and there will be more in 2025. Meaningless surveys they ask you to fill out but nothing changes. Raises and RRP awards are non existent. If you are not a favorite of management you will be let go

Stop the contstant layoffs
