Pros

They had good people...so long as they did not get laid off. Provided a good selection of software tools to use.

Cons

Top heavy management and apparently random layoff of working staff. They laid off a few senior people and had to bring them back because no else could do their job. That is how stupid management was One VP promised upper management they would convert six systems to new application in nine months when the industry standard is about 12-18 months to convert one system. They did it in about a year but the conversion was faulty due to hurrying the job. Another example of poor management. They were real big on project management. I worked on project where the project manager finished up the project plan about a week after the project wrapped. I never found a project manager there who was of any value to me. I often attended weekly hour-long meetings where I would contribute my 30 seconds and then get nothing from any other part of the meeting. Their main job seemed to be churning out paper for upper management. I quit because I did not know from one day to the next if I would have a job or not.

Myopic Leadership; Absurd Turf Battles

Business Outlook

Pros

As required by the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, they do pay their employees.

Cons

Myopic long-tenured leaders embedded in second tier of leadership (beneath C-suite) are consumed with face-saving, rearend-covering turf battles that negatively effect their teams and company performance.

Terrible culture

Pros

Good office location in Chicago

Cons

Culture is not good. Senior executives are some of the worst I’ve ever worked for. They truly don’t care about anyone other than themselves and their egos. Compensation is low and the best talent always leaves.

We're sorry you felt this way - hope you're happier wherever you are now. Fortunately - most CNO folks don't agree with you. We were recently certified by the Great Place to Work Institute as an "official" great place to work - in part, because 85% percent of our associates say we are a great place to work (compared to 59 percent of the average American business.
