Pros

The benefits are pretty good and there is a decent work/life balance.

Cons

The company just sees you as a number and does not care about its employees at all. They recently became slightly more transparent about their resource groups identifying them now as business resource groups instead of employee resource groups. I spent several years within the Diversity and Inclusion sector of the company and quickly came to realize that the only thing they cared about was the way they looked externally and they are not actually interested in diversity, equity, or inclusion. Be very wary of what the literature says as they are happy to support companies that are knowingly anti-lgbtq+ or that have a long history of being anti-lgbtq+(Chik-Fil-A, Salvation Army). The company would rather placate bigots than actually be concerned about the diversity of the workforce. The pay from the company is well below the industry standard and while the benefits help, the compensation is not equivalent. The PTO is not sufficient, especially for those who have dealt with Covid the last few years requiring many to work when they are sick. The company is happy to let the best worker's leave without any effort to keep them while at the same time they are unable to find new people to hire in causing extra load on those who are left behind. It seems very telling that there has not been an associate survey since August 2018.
