Pros

Flexible work environment, really good benefits, and trusting management comfortable with autonomous employees.

Cons

Lack of transparency, poor management communication, seeming lack of urgency to make needed improvements. Should mandate meetings be in-person as much as possible, remote meetings are the norm. Need to update pay for performance bonus structure to give managers more flexibility to increase pay for high performers.

Thanks for your review. We’re glad that you’re enjoying the autonomous environment that your management has provided you. Our leaders strive to establish open lines of communications, using such outlets as @Shield and Town Hall to share company updates. We encourage you to utilize these venues to help you stay informed and share your thoughts. Kathy Mason Strategic Recruiting Program Manager

Pros

1) An inspiring mission and vision. 2) Wellvolution program that encourages employee engagement with their own health with the opportunity to earn rewards 3) Pockets of change within the organization working to transform, modernize culture and processes.

Cons

1) There is a disconnect between the vision and leadership of senior management (CEO and SVPs) and that of middle management. Priorities and values seem to get lost in the sausage making at the director and manager level. Many just continue to do what they're used to regardless of the company strategy. 2) There is a slow change occurring to a more contemporary, team based culture as opposed to the command and control, top-down style of old.
