Not so great.

Pros

- Nice people. The team I was on in particular had amazing, smart, and funny people.

Cons

- Barely anything was modern. After a year of Covid, nobody knew how to properly use Zoom. - Forced to work long hours with no incentives or benefits. “Just trying to meet deadlines.” - Low salary. Even during my interview process, I told them my salary requirements and HR lowballed me and said “people on Glassdoor lie and put their salaries up higher than they really are.” This should’ve been a major red flag, but I was desperate. - Bad employee insurance. High co-pays. - Not great cross-team communication. I only knew my team but barely anybody else. Company is so huge, it’s impossible. - No company-wide activities to keep people engaged. Every day was boring.

Pros

Stable company that has no losses and has a strong business model which allows the company to grow. However, none of the growth and success of the company is translated into the company's employees or their benefits. Pro is the company isn't going anywhere.

Cons

Company is outdated and stuck in the past and will not modernize for their corporate employees. Watsco Ventures is a completely separate company run by different people; be weary of the positive reviews you read on Glassdoor if it comes from Watsco Ventures. The two companies are run completely differently. Watsco Corporate has little to no flexibility and is a very hierarchy type of environment. Benefits are very bad borderline non existent (in terms of 401K match, PTO or Holidays).
