Pros

Really difficult to find something positive. Talent + for the one place to list employee career goals. Now if management and talent acquisition would use this tool correctly to move employees around within the company like they should.

Cons

Benefit cuts. Used to be 8% for a 401k match. Dropped to 4%. Healthcare skyrocketed. More and more tasks were added to job jar. Workers neither compensated or recognized for added tasks outside of job description. Performing multiple jobs and only paid for one. Talent Acquisition (TA) is woefully unskilled at finding talent within the company for placement in other positions. Zero assistance or placement provided to skilled employees with varied backgrounds and degrees. Severe lack of communication from management at all levels. Same issues are addressed yearly by a survey and nothing ever changes.

Pros

Decent benefits, high quality/moral teammates

Cons

Low pay. Overworked employees (most people are taking on multiple roles (usually would be the work/expectation of two, sometimes three or more employees/roles) with no increase in pay. Practically everyone eats lunch while they work. You are paid hourly and have to track your hours, ensuring every hour is given the appropriate charge code, even if you are a full-time "salaried employee". You are not allowed to work overtime without permission and working overtime is just more hours at your usual pay rate. Management is mostly incompetent. At my last one in one meeting with my manager, he said, "So, I gave essentially this same feedback in everyone's quarterly review. I expect you get more tasks done, to do them on time, and to start investing in AI." I actually called him out and said, "I need to push back on what you are asking of me because... I do an of that and more. Especially in regards to AI. You simply do not have enough time with the employees that you manage and...you don't know what we're doing." All he said was, "That's fair." and said things were changing with his latest project finishing up (it's been done for close to a month now. While there's more I could report on, those are probably the biggest concerns
