Pros
Pretty campuses, senior staff recognizes people by name. Most divisions and departments have pockets of people working together that truly care about the value each employee brings.
Cons
At one time the company retained its core of providing a small company feel even as it grew in numbers. The last several years brought in a LOT of new employees, so much so that you didn’t know all the people in your own department. It seemed like less and less people engage with each other, and hardly lift their faces out of their phones to say hello to each other. The culture that made this truly a great place to work doesn’t exist anymore. The focus seems to be intently on the bottom line and acquisitions. Average employees work 60+ hours a week, and depending on what manager you have promotions and raises don’t happen. Favoritism exists. Employees currently either have been there less than a few years or about 20 years, and the index will very clearly point out the ages. Pay particular attention to the Diversity Equity and Inclusion stats. Middle management is often left unchecked, and people services can be little to no help when issues are raised. Heath insurance isn’t ideal. Used to be BCBS and it moved to UMR. Lots of additional costs to the employee.
