Pros

Remote work may be made available depends upon department/manager/director. Salaries are more marketable only at the expense of layoffs.

Cons

Merit review is based on "ranking" if you are not the best performer in your department, there's no raise you risk being not receiving a profit-sharing cash payout (if one is awarded). Those who don't perform in the top percentile risk being terminated. That's not an environment you want to work in or be a part of. The current merit process eliminates the "team" environment and replaces it with every man/woman for himself which is ripe for backstabbing, finger pointing and non-collaborative atmosphere.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
