Pros

Big name A few solid coworkers

Cons

- Been here few months; you can transfer after 6, but the environment may drain you before then - Company policies and manager behavior rarely align - Warnings and termination threats come fast, even without documented performance issues - Positive feedback is few and far between - Expectations shift constantly with little communication - Extra effort goes unnoticed and personally wouldn’t do it but I’ve seen it— early arrivals, skipped lunches, cost‑saving work, flexibility - Rumor‑based concerns raised but never formally addressed - Managers rewarded and not held accountable despite lacking respect, integrity, or basic management skills - Blame always pushed downward; leadership not held accountable - Strongly advise against going above and beyond — take every break you’re entitled to - If you can make it through the first six months, hopefully the grass is greener or at least less detrimental.

Pros

The company has a great mentor program. You will meet colleagues who do amazing things like write books, receive leadership awards, and write checks to nonprofits that really need the help.

Cons

I really have no complaints. I am still in contact with many of my colleagues there.
