Changes Have Come, Still a Lot To Do

Pros

An industry leader with respected corporate leadership. It's growing quickly in merger mode, and there are opportunities to excel in a number of areas. Both the Denver and Andover campuses are nice facilities with a number of worthwhile amenities.

Cons

Mergers have a bit of a chaotic element attached, and this merger is no different in that regard. Some areas of the company are handling it better than others. Still much too vertical in terms of corporate culture; the rank and file have little interaction with corporate leadership, and engagement is falling again after the initial excitement that came with new leadership. Probably the most embarrassing aspect, particularly in light of the business GWF is in, is the company match to the 401(k). It's roughly average for corporate America, but it's very low for the industry that claims to be leading the way to America's retirement future. Leading by example doesn't seem to be in the cards.
