Great benefits, but culture has changed

Pros

Great benefits and salary range was decent

Cons

The culture changed to "do more with less" several years ago, and management changes were rampant. The company motto states that employees are the most important asset, but it felt less and less like that as the years went on. There was constant fear of job loss, and the transparency went down to nothing. Email after email of management leaving the company, many people I know personally let go and many jobs now moved to Phoenix, AZ. This used to be a company that had very low turnover rates and high employee satisfaction. The employee satisfaction surveys kept getting lower and lower while leaders expected more and more.

Pros

Good benefits and working conditions. Lots of support in regards to products and information.

Cons

Corporate Managers do not seem to have a good grasp on the customer experience. Trying to run the company by numbers only. Make a lot of decisions with out thinking them completely through and then change course over and over.
