Pros

-The company rewards hard work and entrepreneurship -Managers and mid-level staff are supportive and care about developing employees

Cons

-For satellite offices HR support is slim to non-existent -Senior and Executive level employees don't take the company's professed culture seriously. Employees are expected not to challenge decisions. -HR policies emphasize the company and profits, not employee wellness or productivity

Thanks for sharing your compliments and constructive criticism. We strive to create a workplace where all employees can be heard as well as develop their skills, accomplishing more together than we could apart. Our principles encourage all employees to embrace a challenge process, and we also provide a Guideline call-in number for employees to anonymously voice concerns, including those involving management. Sharing honest feedback throughout our businesses is essential to ensure that we stand by our principles

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate the positive remarks you made about our working culture. We know we aren't perfect and neither are our employees, but constructive feedback like this helps our employees and our businesses improve. In regard to employee development, we encourage our employees to take ownership in their career with the help of many resources internally. We believe this approach creates opportunities for each of us to take individual ownership in advancing our careers, as opposed to relying on predetermined career paths or waiting for seniority.
