Used to be an amazing place to work but now we worry how long we will be employed
Pros
As a long time employee up until a year ago I could have filled this box with so many good.things and felt pride to work for this company however recently due to changes almost all the perks that kept me here have been taken away. So at the moment I stay because of the health insurance and since I'm a long time employee I have a lot of accrued time off which I would have to forfeit if I leave.
Cons
Micromanagement and an extreme focus on quantity over quality. You are treated like nothing you do is ever enough and if you don't improve, even in the top quartile you will be fired. They monitor your idle time and bathroom breaks and the percent they alot doesn't account for system issues so you literally can not zone out for a second or you will end up on the report. Also taking time off hurts your numbers so if you aren't high enough ranked you could pretty much be fired for taking a vacation and using your own accrued time. Lack of job security - between being fired for performance or let go do to restructuring, no job is safe here anymore. Lack of communication - the left doesn't know what the right is doing because there are so many changes implemented without any training. Between recent loss of profit sharing and being forced to return to office, I had to essentially take a pay cut to continue employment. The systems are so inadequate we can't even complete what should be simple tasks without a work around. Some work around even have their own work around- I'm not joking! Then we are questioned why we didn't get more done! Not only that but we constantly have slow downs, connection issues like nothing works properly but we are held to a standard and graded as if we have the proper tools to do these things. There was a time when they were a very family oriented business and were accommodating to life and schedule needs and when we were allowed to earn working completely remote is when I felt the most work/life balance and valued as an employee. It was the only time in my career that I felt like I was rewarded and was able to work towards a goal that mattered to me. Then they took it away and now they are punishing people who use pto on in office days by making them make them up. So for example if I go to my Grandpa's funeral for 3 days and 2 of them I was supposed to work on site, I have to go in the office full time the next week. Also the office is not ergonomic the chairs do not adjust and are extremely uncomfortable for all day sitting, they only give you 1 monitor but expect you to have several applications all open at once and the office is either stuffy or freezing there is no in-between so it's so hard to focus. I am so much more productive at home and it shows.
