Lots of confusion & instability

Pros

I've worked here for several years, and they've been some of the best years of my career. Good company with a good mission and strong talent. Family friendly, good atmosphere, and professional development is encouraged. Pay and benefits are very good.

Cons

Mistakes from the past, undervalued stock, and regular layoffs (among other things) have caused a plethora of serious problems. This environment does not bring out the best in people- and the culture is sliding back to a lack of communication and transparency, and a disconnect between management and talent. When things are feeling chaotic and communication breaks down, the associates who have stuck with the company through the hard times and worked to better things, start feeling cut off and disrespected.
