Lost sight of what made them stand out
Pros
Prior to the name change, benefits certainly stood out from other companies with benefit contributions towards insurance, PTO grew as years accumulated with company and used freely without fear of recourse if "over used", HSA or FSA contributions annually for employees and more. All of which these were either regulated or just stripped away to compete with "local companies doing the same".
Cons
Massive benefit cuts to all who dedicated their lives here as now their benefits were no different than someone new hired only part time. But, because of years working being grandfathered into salary, paid less than new people or even interns. Departments understaffed, over worked, and no compensation other than little pay on back for over time taking away from their personal families and lives. And despite how much they claim to encourage employees getting help, if you make a mistake of trusting HR with such information, you will be reprimanded. Even the insurance benefits have been directed to be reactive rather than proactive to help anyone such as beneficiaries if someone passes and maternal leave. But getting time off or help prior to becoming ill? If your child has complications and needs more medical care so you need flexibility to take them to appointments? No. Instant reaction only and any dedication for staying here so longmeans nothing other than locked into lesser pay than anyone else.
