Pros

This has always been a great company to work for, great benefits, great CEO's. Great income if you work really hard. But that is changing......

Cons

The company has lost touch with their employees, they have over hired on the sales floor, do not communicate with employees as to what is going on. I have been at the company over 5 years, but they have lost touch with the sales force which is the engine of the company. Marketing has been drastically reduced, making it harder and harder to make good income. I thought I would be able to retire from this company now with the changes which are affecting my income drastically and no communication from management as to why they are changing things etc.

Pros

It doesn't surprise me that there is a glowing review from most hourly employees. This company caters to a fun environment and low-cost benefits that meet their needs. The new campus is also very nice. I do believe they care about their employees.

Cons

Like I said in the "pros" section, the company does seem to care about their employees, but they certainly don't know how to GROW their employees. Mid-level to senior leader jobs are almost never hired into from within, despite that being what is told to candidates when hired. You must either be friends or former colleagues with a few key people to get hired into a senior leadership role. And, you must also be male. Their most senior leaders are ALL male, but for the head of HR. There isn't one female leader at the VP or above level. It's often discussed as the "boy's club," which is unfortunate because diversity offers a strategic advantage. A “best places to work” company should be doing better than this and leading the way in closing the gender inequity gap. I was somewhat amused reading the post by HR from January 2019 (scroll down). Indeed, some of that is very true, especially the fun events part, but what they don't tell you is that the 401k only matches at 50% and the company match pays in once a year (forget earning interest), and it does not vest for three full years, not even partially. And the 3% they will match is abysmally low relative to other companies. Vacation time is NOT competitive. 2 weeks of vacation plus a week of sick is no longer the norm or even close to being able to manage a work/life balance. Unlike what the HR post says, schedules are not flexible and working from home isn't supported. This company has quite a bit of growing up to do.
