Hostile & Toxic Environment!

Pros

The medical benefits are decent but the premiums have increased significantly.

Cons

The company has been mismanaged for years hiring nothing but undeserving managers which breed hostility and toxicity. Bad decisions by management, especially within the technology department have caused employee morale to decline and employees to jump ship . The technology department is made up primarily of managed services, outsourced support and staff, and employees from India holding H1B visas. I have witnessed American employees forced to interview offshore people that would be taking their job. This one act of hostility towards employees is truly disgusting and unfortunately all to common for a company which prioritizes cheap labor over quality. The technology management team is made up a few people who are favored by senior management and get away with poor professional behavior. The management team does not possess professional development skills such as critical thinking and conflict management. Most times if a manager does not like you, they will their best to sabotage you and create a hostile environment which people cannot be successful in. For some reason this aggressive behavior is rewarded and protected instead of confronted and corrected. Most other negative reviews hit the nail on the head and clearly state what issues are too common within A+E and especially technology. This by far is the worst company I have ever worked for.

Pros

From the looks of it, the new President, Paul Buccieri, is very much intent on changing the toxic and hostile culture across the organization. I trust he can get it done if he makes the tough decisions and rids his organization of the people responsible for inciting and supporting such culture.

Cons

Believe the negative reviews. HR and upper management retaliates against people raising concerns about sexism and discrimination. Calling themselves "The People Team" is not just misleading, but is perceived as a joke. Women are told to "suck it up and grow thicker skin" when it comes to complaints against sexist conduct.
