Pros

I have made some very good lifelong friends througout my years with the company.

Cons

Upper management doesn't care about their employees. Last year we went through a system change. The system was and still is slow and inefficient. The work load was and still is unmanageable. When employees expressed their concerns, they were told things would get better. Fast forward almost a year later and things have not gotten better. We have lost so many great employees due to the lack of empathy from upper management. They say "voice your concerns" "we cant change things unless you speak up." So when employees speak up about the unrealistic expectations and unmanageable work load upper management responds with "work faster and smarter." When employees speak up about wanting to get paid more or they will look elsewhere or accept a job elsewhere, we are told our salaries are in line with other companies. In comparison to other companies the pay is way below average unless you are a supervisor or in upper management. Good and loyal employees are not rewarded. There is no room for growth. They are not replacing people when they quit, they are just expecting the rest of their employees to do the work of 3 people for the same amount of money.

Pros

I worked with several talented people and had positive interactions with multiple business stakeholders. The company has strong brand recognition, meaningful business lines, and some leaders who genuinely value recruiting partnership.

Cons

My experience in Talent Acquisition became increasingly difficult because the management style I experienced felt highly controlling, punitive, and focused more on scrutiny than coaching, workload calibration, or clear success metrics. In my opinion, the environment became one where a manager’s narrative could outweigh production, stakeholder feedback, and the actual complexity of the workload. I raised concerns through internal channels and later experienced increased scrutiny, formal performance action, and ultimately termination with what I viewed as a vague and incomplete explanation. From my perspective, the process lacked fairness, transparency, and meaningful opportunity to address concerns through objective measures. I would caution candidates and employees to pay close attention to the specific leadership chain they would report into, not just the broader company reputation. Advice to Management: Ensure performance concerns are handled with clear metrics, documented coaching, balanced stakeholder input, and genuine review of workload realities. A company’s employment brand is affected not only by candidate experience, but also by how internal employees are treated when they raise concerns.
