Pros

Toxic environment that never changed. So thrilled I escaped.

Cons

Where to begin -nepotism -back stabbing -social standing -no work/life balance -forced to work close to 24/7 while “leadership” won’t answer phones after 6 -will set you up to be reprimanded by HR -constant talking behind back -constant show of rank on company -steals credit for work -blind when it comes to horrible employees -lets the good ones go and keeps the bad one. -senior leadership feels very “sleeping” their way to the top. -pay raises AND job growth for senior leadership only - nothing for the lowly employees -promises NOT kept

Pros

Awesome place and people - complex and large finance operation and balance sheet yet still small enough to make an impact and build up solutions from the ground floor - creative place!

Cons

Sometimes can be stretched for more resources

Pros

Great staff and middle management. Good benefits and facilities.

Cons

Upper Management - same tune as all the other reviews. This place is full of great people who don't know they are great. It's also full of bad leaders who think they are great. Unfortunately, the best performers are often rewarded with carrying the burden of underperformers and non-contributing leaders. In certain teams there is very limited in upward mobility. They are slow to weed out low performers and ineffective managers. All in, strong performers and high achievers might find this place frustrating. This is a place for those who like to coast through.
