Pros

Good benefits, good hours, solid pay, schedule stays the same for the most part, helping members can be rewarding. weekends (sometimes) and holidays off.

Cons

Horrible leadership. Does not care about employee disability. I was recently diagnosed with a mental disability and rather than my leadership look out for me i was denied leave at first and not given the proper resources to navigate this. No resources provided just an attitude and lack of empathy. This will probably cost me my job but I will find somewhere much better. Leadership belittles employees and makes them feel like a number. Treats us like we are little kids getting called into principal's office. We get nitpicked for every little mistake with very little positive recognition. Not to mention the lack of direction with the constantly changing systems and the favoritism for others. Never have i felt like such an "employee" somewhere. Was told this was a great job, I feel that I am just passing the time when i come here now. Management ALWAYS takes the members side during any kind of escalation. The branch with these people is doomed! There is a reason turnover is so high and will remain so as long as they stay in power. What a pathetic excuse for a company. Just like any other company. It is just a JOB, and you are just an EMPLOYEE here. Nothing will change and it will probably get much worse. I am a pretty positive person too but they managed to make me question my own worth and brought me great mental distress. Would NEVER recommend. Seriously, as a company you need to get your ACT TOGETHER. Sorry you couldn't meet my expectations of being a DECENT place to work and you hire the WORST leadership. And it will just keep going because you truly dont care. Your culture is toxic and the leadership is toxic. TOXIC. All I expect to see is a generic "we're sorry we didn't meet your expectations we strive to be the best company blah blah blah" comment from this. Pathetic.

Pros

In my tenure I had wonderful people I met who had a great impact on my life.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations, lack of planning and change management, no work-life balance, destroyed my mental health and had a severe negative impact on my family life and overall well being, accommodations denied, FMLA was a nightmare- I was hounded the entire time when I would return. Also an emergency that was life threatening and was expected to continue to report daily after clearly outlining the details and severity of the situation. Lack of empathy from upper management, thankful my direct leadership had a soul . Total opposite of the place I was so proud to work for and the culture that Mr. Dawson built has almost been fundamentally torn apart piece by piece. Multiple requests to voluntarily step down. I’ve seen another review from the department of people having severe mental distress issues and this is an ongoing issue that has been silently known about since at least 2018 and nothing has really been done. The pressure just keeps adding on instead. A lot of talk, but it’s fluff. Then when finally the impact takes its toll and an employee performance starts to show the struggles, they’re placed on a PIP & basically playing Russian roulette to keep your livelihood. Maybe member experience would be better if employees were actually cared for and not disregarded. And when you are strong willed and try to improve and won’t quit, they will find a way to throw you to the curb after you’ve devoted years of loyalty, integrity, awards, and exceeding performances. Please save the “we are sorry and this does not reflect our blah blah” auto reply. It’s insulting.
