Pros

Great product lines, valuable mission and cause. Lots of openings creates a lot of room for growth.

Cons

High management turnover, low compensation for non-exempt associates - these contribute to understaffed, overworked, associates who are micromanaged by inexperienced young managers.

Pros

- Company has a great history to be proud of. - Many good products. - Seen as a leader in the space (although they have been resting on their laurels). - A lot of talented co-workers, though most are overworked and stressed.

Cons

- Company is so big that it is overly bureaucratic. Way too many people have to give their OK for projects to happen or changes to be made, no matter how small. - Departments are siloed and communication between teams and within teams is terrible. Departments compete against each other. - Talented, productive workers and SMEs are not given the opportunity to make decisions themselves even though they were hired for their knowledge and expertise. - People are micro-managed to death. - Tons of meetings. Meetings to talk about meetings. - Management has been a revolving door at the senior level, so no consistency. - Big culture of fear. Rounds of layoffs. VERY poor communication. - Middle-managers are plenty and fight for their territory, not their staff. In general leadership is lacking and incompetent. - Management also let toxic people thrive. A lot of dead wood abounds. - There has been a lot of emphasis on DE+I but it all seems performative and a lot of lip service.
