Pros

The employee's are good people and a few managers are ok

Cons

Its like your in prison only thing missing are the cots. The upper management and office people are the dumbest people i ever interacted with. They are completely clueless to everthing except numbers.

Pros

Benefits make your year and the co-workers make your day, when you're allowed to speak to them.

Cons

Everything else. They claim to care so much about their employees but they really don't. You get monitored and judged for pretty much everything you do and they call it "branding" like you're some kind of cow in a heard. They speak about development and opportunities but really what they are asking of you is how many hoops they can make you jump through without having to pay you any more money. They dangle the carrot in your face and make you feel like garbage when they "put you in your place"

Pros

Was an amazing place e to work!

Cons

You begin to wonder how some people move into roles. Is it based on merit or what is needed at that time to fill an inclusion and diversity box? It’s not longer about the customer. Just hit the metrics. How ever you want to package the “right activity”, they are metrics. Talent isn’t enough, you need to be in the correct circle or you aren’t moving.
