Pros

People are nice, hubs are pretty but not the best design. One exit parking deck sucks. ..But still pretty! 401k and pension is good to.

Cons

I used to love working for the company. Now they make it so difficult with micromanaging, metrics and no work life balance. Now you have to accrue time and use PTO even if you're ill. It's 2017 and frankly most of these jobs can be worked from home. Instead they'd rather have us punch some stupid time clock (micromanaging) so they can "watch" us. Then they build these million dollar glorified hubs, sell them and then rent back from the new owner! That's plain stupid. I also relocated across county for a promotion and they did not help pay for relocation! If your going from one hub to another you don't qualify BUT it's up to management discretion! So obviously I'm not a bad employee since I got promoted, I just think they are losing a lot of money and it's sad that good employees have to deal with their lack of management and poor decisions that are made for the entire enterprise. The company has gone down a lot especially since the last CEO left a few years ago! The new one sucks!!!

Pros

The people here must all be headed to heaven 😅 never met a bad coworker or manager in my 6 years. They are always having events at work also.

Cons

You have to talk on the phone a lot but to some this is not a con.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
