Pros

Great/loyal coworkers, great benefits, great managers

Cons

Lay off 2400 people by generic email before a major holiday because HR fumbled and news got out earlier. Everyone including managers and directors blindsided. This is their 3rd layoff and they still messed it up. Lots of jobs going overseas. Company lost its culture since the merger and Aron left. Padding the EC terrible HR leadership since they laid off a lot of HR leadership previously. I loved this company for 7 years. On to bigger and better.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
