Board members clueless about how employees treated

Pros

Decent pension, work life balance, lower level employees are decent people

Cons

People in executive management with high school diplomas who act like trash and treat people like trash. Told that if you work hard that you can get a five annual performance score but the management makes sure scores are adjusted downwards to a 3 to minimize increases. Also you are told if you go above and beyond you’ll get spot awards. Hardly any get approved because hardly anyone rises to that level. Go work there is you are ok with being unappreciated

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are decent and there are telework positions

Cons

All positions are now hourly, HR has a high turn over and run a “friends and family” environment. Complaints are not taken seriously and I have unfortunately witnessed a series of retaliation related events in various departments... specifically and most recently from the current CIO, COO and HR Reps which has been a huge disappointment. Very uncomfortable gossip culture. Managers are not held accountable for bad performance, dependent mistakes or unacceptable behavior. Very little career growth opportunity.
