Pros

Depends on the team, but most teams are pretty nice and have a good, healthy culture and atmosphere. Pay is generally pretty competitive.

Cons

Either get into a TDP or other development program, or join already as a manager/tech lead level employee. They get treated pretty fairly.

That level in between, you will get shortchanged compared to all the other associates in the development program. They will get paid more than you, get a lot more money put towards them as far as work events and opportunities, and they will probably already have a head start compared to you in many aspects of the business.

Promotions are rare, and you need to go above and beyond to get one.

  • No stock options or associate-specific services in the company.
Advice to Management

Lower-level employees tend to go ignored, especially when they have complaints with leadership. Don't make them feel ignored and be honest with them; don't try to sugarcoat reality with them.
