Pros

There are great people who work hard here and deserve better. This CU had true potential with strong ties to the local community before they were erased, both in name and in spirit.

Cons

The tone at the top of this company has steadily deteriorated, creating significant challenges across the organization. There is a growing perception that the C-suite has fostered an environment where misogyny is not just tolerated but seemingly reinforced through decisions, communication styles, and a lack of accountability. Concerns raised by employees—especially women—are frequently seen as dismissed or minimized, creating a culture where many no longer feel respected, heard, or safe to contribute fully. When women do speak up or assert themselves they may face disproportionate scrutiny, often not appearing to receive the same level of respect or consideration as their male counterparts. 
 Compounding this is the CEO’s unpredictable leadership approach. Strategic direction shifts constantly, priorities are unclear, and decisions are reactive rather than thoughtful. Each new executive hire seems to reset progress, introducing sweeping changes without understanding the business, leading to repeated cycles of disruption and lost momentum. As soon as things seem they might stabilize, instead we face another year of confusion and wasted effort. The impact on morale is severe. Teams are burned out, disengaged, and increasingly distrustful of leadership. There’s a pervasive sense that no matter how hard employees work, their efforts can be undone overnight by another abrupt shift or leadership misstep. Employee wellness has taken a clear hit, with stress and frustration becoming the norm rather than the exception. The feeling of constant chaos has caused serious concerns for mental and physical health.
 Every day seems to bring a new issue—whether it’s a poorly communicated company email, a sudden restructuring, or another leadership change that creates more instability. Instead of building value, the current trajectory is eroding it, both culturally and operationally. Without meaningful changes at the leadership level, it’s difficult to see how the company can retain talent or rebuild trust.

Pros

Some good coworkers helping the day go by

Cons

Horrendous leadership from top to bottom. The leadership will talk about accountability but will be the first to point fingers when things go wrong. They harass when they don’t get their way, threaten, and cultivate a toxic work environment. The higher level management is so obsessed with their own work culture at HQ, they ignore what goes on in their own branches.
