Pros

You would think there would be something, but whatever pros exist are basics like flexible with remote work up to 2 days a week, a few extra days off. There is a perception that standard flexibilities are benefits

Cons

- The wider group and this unit has mostly +55 white male leadership, many of whom display poor judgement, narcissistic character traits, straight up sexism and often cling to their jobs because they aren't employable elsewhere - I was gaslighted by a group level function head who suggested to me that my inability/lack of desire to continue working in the environment after an severe sexual harassment incident against me was due to a character weakness on my part - Majority of employees left the organization after prolonged sick leave to avoid dealing w the toxic environment - My performance has never been lower than in this business. 6 months into a new role I am a top performer in my org. Environment MATTERS. You just have to be slightly above the average for this place to drag your performance and quality of work down. - Whole group is in max cost saving mode. Dont be fooled by the fancy "strategies" and slides and brand name

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
