Pros

Work life balance is it.

Cons

Incompetent managers, senior leadership hides behind submissive, managers and don’t represent employees. They don’t spend time training or onboarding. No one talks to each other, and there is so much control when interacting with other departments. Employees are given talking points when meeting HR and are told to commit to nothing. If you have ideas or suggestions, they are shunned or silenced. They are looking for paper, pushers and admins, and that’s it. If you push back, they use false performance, evaluations, and HR does nothing to help support its employees. Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had. Do not work at this place as it is a classic bait and switch during the interview. They will tell you, you’re working on amazing things, and then you will realize that you’re nothing more than an admin. the enterprise, Banks and charters are actually good individuals, for marketing and improvement. It’s the marketing department itself that is inefficient and full of people under qualify to do their jobs.
