Pros

Role is currently remote, and benefits are decent

Cons

Management is horrible, racist and inconsiderate. The micromanagement is draining. They drown you with work and only promote the higher ups and misuse of departments funds, meanwhile the department is under staffed and we only get more work due the companies consist growth throught the country. Absolutely no work life balance. When you’re done with work you can barely keep up with your personal life it’s so exhausting.
