Pros

Decent pay, excellent benefits, peers are hard working (for the most part)

Cons

Everything. If you work at this company and you want to succeed, you will need to not have any morals, be okay to not have your own opinion, and be okay with ruining the careers of your colleagues all for your advancement (if you don't you will be the one getting treated this way) and for your management. I have never seen a company where they promote this type of horrid behavior. The current managers are not qualified for their jobs and have been placed in that position by their buddies or by being brainwashed into being a corporate bully. Each manager gets a "dirty deed" to do as initiation into the group I assume. The current East Area Leadership team has their own agendas and push good hard working people out of this company by treating them horribly, telling them they are not worthy of their hard earned degrees, and finding ways to write them up to aid in kicking them out the door. Some members of the leadership team, 1 in particular, has been quoted of saying "if you don't want someone working here anymore, then you make them so miserable they quit." From the reviews on this page and by peers who have left willingly and those who have been forced out, it should be evident that this company and its leadership are terrible. It’s a health risk to work here, unless you are part of the in crown, have no experience, and drink the Kool-Aid.

Pros

Great place to work. Although there has been a lot of change over the past few years, I feel the company is back on track. Culture has been dramatically improved.

Cons

Not much at this time. Still lots of change ahead though as the company transforms into a tower focused company.

Pros

Depending on who is running your team (I’ve had 3 different team leads in the 3 years that I’ve been a full time employee,) some have provided great mentoring, and have taught me a lot.

Cons

Job security is extremely unstable, and employees often feel like they are one decision away from becoming part of another layoff statistic. In my experience, women were not always treated equitably compared to their male counterparts, depending heavily on the leadership structure within the department. The company also showed limited willingness to accommodate health conditions, often searching for loopholes to minimize support, assistance, or benefits during times when employees and their families needed them most. Leadership roles often felt transactional and tied directly to the company’s immediate operational goals. For example, when a department needed growth, leadership would bring in individuals with strong industry relationships, connections, and expertise to help expand profitability and establish the department. However, once those goals were achieved and the leader’s network or strategic value had been fully utilized, the company would frequently move on from them—either through reassignment or termination—in favor of the next person who fit the company’s evolving objectives. Overall, the culture created an environment where many employees felt expendable rather than valued long-term.
