Pros

Management doesn't care about the quality of work, so if you have no work ethic and just want to play in the social club, welcome home!

Cons

Pretty much everything. Any attempts to improve yourself or the company is met with, literally, "Shut up and color." We were told this at least weekly. We would ask for modest and reasonable accomodations or software to make our jobs more efficient, and were told "Shut up and color." Performance was not rewarded - shutting up and playing the political game was.

Pros

Great culture Flexibility Team Collaboration Growth Opportunities ERG’s Benefits

Cons

I had a very positive experience overall. If I had to identify an area for improvement, I’d say that as the company continues to grow, there are opportunities to further streamline processes and enhance cross-team communication. That said, it’s a natural part of growth, and I appreciated being part of that evolution.

Pros

The only pro of working at this company is the biweekly paycheck.

Cons

I worked in HR at First Horizon for two years, and my experience showed me a company that consistently prioritized its own interests over those of its employees. The intense micromanagement stems from unrealistic expectations set by senior leadership, creating a high-pressure environment with little regard for work-life balance. The company has also required employees to return to the office full-time, offering virtually no flexibility for remote or hybrid work. That decision speaks volumes about how much value is placed on employee well-being. To make matters worse, I saw instances where previously approved vacation requests—even trips that had already been booked and paid for—were later revoked. Before accepting an offer here, I would strongly encourage you to consider whether this is the kind of culture you want to be part of.
