Thank you for your feedback. Our teams are committed to fulfilling their responsibilities to the diverse groups we serve. When employees are set up for success, our operations run smoothly, and our business prospers. Goal setting and workforce planning are integral parts of our annual process for senior leaders. As organizational changes occur, these plans are reassessed. Leaders communicate goals and priorities to their teams, and we encourage proactive dialogue if employees feel overwhelmed or unclear. Our organization has successfully navigated a changing industry. We help employees learn from and contribute to diverse roles, initiatives, and groups according to their interests. We invest in resources for skill development, competencies, and certifications within or beyond current job areas. While some job families have clear paths for upward advancement, many career journeys take linear or alternative tracks, and we aim to support both. It is disappointing to hear that your objectives were not met in our environment. Your comments will be considered as we refine our approaches.

Career growth through working with a team that is about success - clients and your own!

No water-cooler chats because of being remote, but this isn't really a con.

Pros

A company that I believe genuinely cares about its employees as much as their clients. Great work/life balance, decent pay, great culture, welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

Cons

Trying to "fix" too many things at one time can lead to inconsistency and feelings of being overwhelmed at all levels. There is a lot of great intent and plans to continue to grow the company and make things better overall, however, sometimes it felt a lot like "pulling at straws" approach where upper leadership would try something impulsively, and not stick to it long enough to see if it could truly make an impact, and many times certain approaches contradicted a previous one for a different area of opportunity. However, it's important to note, that through many moving parts, there was always support offered, and a "safe space" to provide feedback at even entry level roles.
