Pros

Great pay/benefits Great local teams that are really helpful

Cons

Completely out of touch corporate group that constantly pushes policies and programs that are directly contrary to the wishes of employees. Obvious examples of corporate greed (announcing increases in insurance costs for employees in the same meeting they announced the company had $1 billion cash that they weren't sure what to do with yet). Draconian disciplinary action taken any time there is an issue. Always looking for who to blame and who to take action against as opposed to working as a team to find the best solution. Progression is based on how much you're willing to sacrifice your life/family and devote yourself to the company. If you ever make a decision to put your family first, you will be ostracized and no longer allowed to progress.

Pros

Free snacks and coffee Anonymous Employee Feedback I joined the company with a positive impression and a strong desire to contribute. Over time, however, my perception of the organization has changed significantly due to my experience with leadership and workplace culture. My primary concern is the lack of support from management. Employees need coaching, guidance, and constructive feedback to succeed, especially when learning new processes or taking on additional responsibilities. Instead, I have often felt unsupported and left to navigate challenges on my own. There is also a perception of inconsistent treatment among employees. This has created concerns about fairness and has negatively impacted morale and trust within the team. When employees believe expectations are applied differently depending on the individual, it becomes difficult to remain motivated and engaged. Communication from leadership has not always been clear or constructive. Employees perform best when expectations are transparent and feedback is delivered in a way that promotes growth. Unfortunately, my experience has often left me feeling discouraged rather than supported. While the company offers opportunities and has many dedicated employees, leadership and culture have had a significant impact on my overall experience. I believe improvements in employee support, communication, accountability, and consistency would help create a more positive and productive work environment. This feedback is shared in the hope that it will encourage reflection and positive change for current and future employees.
