Pros

The pay is very good compared to the work

Cons

The company has no solid direction. There are teams of 12 people with 4 to 5 managers. Very HR top heavy. There were at least 3 HR reps for my department of less than 15 people. No career advancement. Management and HR talked nonstop about how employees needed a clear career path but when anyone tried to establish a way to make it happen they were shot down in endless meetings. To many egos to get anything done. People will completely kill projects simply because they didn't think of it. There is way too much political drama. No one wants to take accountability for decisions and employees pay the price.

Pros

Autonomy and trust were the highlights of my time at Coinstar.

Cons

Leadership often changed directions and there was a lot of turnover in the department at the time I was at the company. As a fully remote employee, it seemed like the people at headquarters were viewed in a different light and I never really felt "part of the team."
