Pros
Decent wages and bonuses Decent benefits
Cons
They have no understanding of diversity. They have one woman of color on the executive board who just made that position. They lack any understanding of what the word diversity means, if you read about this department, all it mentions is inclusion.... inclusion has NOTHING to do with diversity. The picture they provided of "diversity" is such a misreprestation from what Mankato and Owatonna look like. Federated has a big push for the word "networking", which really means this is the only way you are going to get promoted. People who should have gotten promoted because they know their job duties have been overlooked because they didn't meet Federateds outdated guidelines. Then you have people who have worked there for so many years and get away with treating you like crap. Management won't do anything about it but turn a blind eye because seniority stands firm. They gloat about how the profits they have been made and forget the people who had to work crazy hours to reach these goals. The want to show appreciation through pizza parties then demand more work. The workplace is toxic which in turn is making the people that work there toxic. Federated has stated they do not allow working from home, but that differs from lead to lead, and you can see favoritism. Along with the fact supervisors can freely work from home under their own discretion Absolutely no such thing as work/life balance.
