Solid mission and benefits, but culture is declining

Business Outlook

Pros

Historically a great place to work with a solid mission. Good benefits, but the culture is eroding quickly

Cons

- Leadership Accountability : The CEO has publicly distanced himself from tough operational decisions, contradicting the core value of "Owning It." - HR policies feel like suggestions rather than firm rules. While the "handbook" is cited as a reason to deny standard requests for most staff, those rules are frequently bypassed.
