Pros

Updated computer monitors and desks improve the physical workspace. Some managers are supportive and actively try to remove roadblocks for their teams.

Cons

The environment no longer feels professional and has declined quickly in recent months. Leadership culture often comes across as a “bro club,” particularly at the LGM and Business Office leadership level. Diversity in leadership appears inconsistent. While women are occasionally placed in visible roles, advancement and inclusion seem to favor middle-aged white men the majority of the time. Teams operate in silos, and collaboration across departments is limited. Some new consultants rely on searching for answers rather than using the provided training materials, which affects consistency and customer confidence. Managers frequently have to push back against leadership to remove roadblocks that slow down the processes.

Pros

1) Enjoy DEI training videos that discriminate against white people 2) If you are a woke dishonest person you will move up quick 3) Fake dishonest open-door policy. They pretend like they want to know you to build relationships trap if you say to much or one wrong word you will be terminated

Cons

Woke and toxic work environment You have to be careful with everything you say or you will get fired. Go woke or go broke!!
