Ok, but needs serious employee compensation review
Pros: 100% remote. Can work from almost any location with internet. Lack of vertical opportunities for internal staff. 
My particular team is the absolute best and really the only reason I stay. They are true friends and I would consider each member a brother.
Cons: Medical insurance for a company this size is a complete joke. For a family plan, there is 13k out of pocket deductible before an 80% discount.  That is after ~$300/mo for the privilege of using the plan. This is a high deductible plan. The low deductible plan costs the same in the end.  More comes out of your paycheck upfront and the deductible is ~$6500.  So you either pay upfront or in the end. 

There is a lack of vertical movement opportunities for those in the internal operations IT. In fact in recent years they have "off shored" a large percentage of the IT support teams. And they are about to go for another round of cuts for internal IT and internal advisory staff through something called Project FIT. 

Yearly bonuses and raises are an absolute joke. For being a very well performing person on a short staffed IT team that is the absolute best in the firm, a 1.5-3k year bonus is a waste of my time and the annual pay raises have been 1-1.5k a year. Doesn't even hit cost of living increases. 

Even though being 100% remote is great, the work/life balance is still way off. We are expected to be "on call" 24/7 every 3-4 weeks for a week with no extra pay or incentive.  We are expected to work weekends if it is "needed" for a client
