Pros

Health insurance is certainly top notch. Free parking, free Coke and water. Pay is mostly reasonable. Decent kitchen areas. Good coworkers at the lower levels for now, but they are rapidly departing. 401K plan, annual leave. Chattanooga is a nice city in many ways.

Cons

Company is doing everything it can to resist hybrid and remote efforts. Management is an awful mix of middle-level micromanagers, and a good old boy executive suite. Hiring rates are already at rock bottom while lots of people leave, but the company ended its pension plan for new employees. Now employees have to stay for five years to even get their 401K match. Pension still accrues for existing employees, so none of the toxic management ever leaves to make room for growth. 24/7 on-call hours for too many areas. Their most dedicated and effective workers get passed over until they quit. HR is either handcuffed or ineffective.

Pros

Salary is above average for Chattanooga. Not sure how long that will continue as remote work expands. Free parking, for people obligated to come into the office. A few areas like the call centers do primarily WFH now. Free soft drinks and bottled waters.

Cons

Company is not retaining employees and having a hard time finding new staff. Current rank and file employees generally feel very unappreciated. CEO's vision is very unclear: he opposes WFH, but doesn’t encourage masks or vaccinations either. Decision making has been consolidated almost entirely among a few at the top. A small handful of management is known to be scarily toxic, but the executives have not reined them in. Areas you would expect to go hybrid (marketing, HR, IT, etc.) still have to drive into the office everyday. Would not recommend EPB to non-managerial applicants at this time.
