Pros

Customers are the best! They really appreciated all the hard work I put into my job for them.

Cons

In all the years I have worked I have never been so discriminated against. The manager openly plays favorites. You can only be promoted if Mgr. likes you . Then he will basically hold your hand and coddle you through your job so you look good to the regional mgr. And if necessary will do some of your work and talk you up so that you look better to the regional. Mgr has told other employees that will not promote someone because of medical condition and age.!!! So E.E.O.C. Here I come with proof!!!!!! Every day I work harder and more complete for the company then the person that was promoted! !!!!!

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
