Pros

Great Pay, benefits have been great throughout the years here, slowly being diminished.

Cons

Where to begin? Overwhelming work demands here. My personal workload has tripled, deadlines still expected. Mangers are now “people leaders” , floating along redistributing emails or notices, not engaging with their subordinates, but showing up to meetings with their superiors and equals to drink the company kool-aid and telling ,each other how well they do. When we do have direct conversations, they tell us their understanding of high work loads, but there is nothing they can do about it, the company is on a hiring freeze. If your a customer driven person as I, you’ll find yourself making excuses for all departments lack of on time delivery. We went from a great company who drove customer projects as a team, to a very siloed departmeatlized organization. Not sure how to remedy this.

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.
