Pros

The company is overall a family-friendly company. The expectations are reasonable and I have access to management to offer feedback about how systems and procedures are working.

Cons

Several years ago, there was a big reduction in home office staff. This caused disruption to the ability to get in touch with people for help on time-sensitive needs. The salary leaves something to be desired. The company is working to make improvements to internal operations, but there always seems to be something that needs "enhancement".

Pros

Good benefits and I have some kind and smart colleagues. Solid retirement contributions as part of the bonus program. Nice office spaces with good amenities.

Cons

People who have no business leading or managing people are put in positions of power because a higher up likes them. Reorgs and quiet layoffs are constant and people are stressed. People who aren’t in leadership absorb the chaos and deal with a lot of stress because managers manage up more than support their own teams. Lack of team meetings and expectations for managers to build a positive culture leads to competitive and attention seeking behaviors within teams.
