Pros

People are nice. Flexible hours.

Cons

Management doesn’t know what they’re doing, and they don’t trust the actual subject matter experts they have on their teams. They hire people in roles who do not have the adequate skills or knowledge for the role. It’s a very “old school” company where people stay for life and just shuffle around into positions they’re not actually qualified for. Lots of talk and little action. Blocked at every step of the way. No progress. Management doesn’t really listen or understand the problems of associates.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
