Pros

Great salary for Norfolk area. Amazing vacation. Good , if you make it.

Cons

I have seen very good people treated very poorly. Management is focused on wowing shareholders with their cost-cutting. So far, they have been successful but employees are paying the process. Job security is doubtful as they reduce positions and move more and more people to Atlanta with little notice. Families are uprooted or the employee is left without a job or severance. Has created a very paranoid environment which is unfortunate because the previous CEO and leadership team were very visible and invested in our employees.

Pros

Depending on the team you are in, it can be very flexible, and you’ll be working with nice people.

Cons

HR needs to step in more, they are supposed to set a precedent yet it seems like the higher ups in different departments actually set the expectations. Which can be toxic, and some managers clearly don’t know how to manage teams. HR seems to be a nice and fun department, but the rest of the company has lackluster reviews. Also, stop advertising a total rewards package to new hires when you need to work over fiver years to get some benefits and due to the merger they won’t actually get that package. Just raise your base salaries.
