It can take a long time if you are not intenal

Disorganized & Toxic

To ask for more money when hired.

Passive aggressive. Providence nice is that you won’t hear negative feedback, people just ignore you. Lately they’ve been hiring people outside the industry making it hard to focus on industry standards.

Educational reimbursement for both degree programs as well as certifications. Paid time off, including for all of the major holidays, medical dental & vision at little or no cost, a percentage match to your 401(k) contributions, etc.

I work 100% remotely and independently. I create my own schedules and tasks list which my manager has access to and we meet as needed although we have a standing meeting every two weeks. I get a whole lot of work done this way. I also have the authority to ask for the things I need from IT/Help Desk and just add my manager as a Watcher on my requests.
