Pros

I have many great things I could share about working for BSC but will share one for now. I've been with the company now for 4 years and have always been impressed at the culture of transparency that the management and executive leadership teams espouse. Like many companies, BSC had to make some adjustments during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. For many this was a period of uncertainty, with many companies laying people off etc. For us at BSC during this pandemic transition (to remote work, new onsite procedures etc.), there was constant communication trickling down from the execs through our immediate managers; and difficult decisions (limited furlongs) where communicated delicately with a lot of compassion, empathy and logical reasoning of how such decisions were reached. The way the company responded to the pandemic re-affirmed my believe in BSC's strong values and culture. Blessed to work for this company.

Cons

Benefit package could be better.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
