Pros

BSC has always been a great place to work but it has really shown through during COVID. While a lot of companies have experienced challenges I believe BSC went the other direction to go above and beyond to ensure employees well being during the heart of pandemic. A few highlights: Employee centric company Great benefits Supports work life balance, especially for those with family. Clear career paths Numerous opportunities to join employee resource groups Strong values around support of the community and volunteerism

Cons

BSC has had a lot of success in recent years and has grown really fast. Some of the facilities are bursting at the seams because the company can't expand fast enough. COVID has actually allowed some of the projects to catch back up to the growth.

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.
