Pros

Great company as long as you're not in STD claims

Cons

Workload isn’t aligned with staffing they’re expecting more than the role was designed for. Leadership is adding tasks for optics, that doesn’t solve real problems. We are doing the work of multiple people without the pay or recognition underpayment and overworked

Pros

Flexible work for some employees. The offices are nice and located in a nice area.

Cons

This is not the same company it was 8 years ago. Upper Management changes constantly and people making decisions at the top appear all over the place. As an employee, I do not feel like I can speak up. Not a safe environment. Workload is heavy year round, and managers play favorites. High intensity environment, high stress. Depressed stock price for years. A lot of talk about cutting expense but there’s a lot of extraneous spending if you look closely. Multiple rounds of layoffs over the years make you wonder if you are next. Laughable merit for the last two years. Performance reviews are ridiculous and newer system has peers rating each other and providing feedback, so it becomes a popularity test. The move to “unlimited PTO” to save money but now many don’t use the vacation time they earned. I do not expect to be here in six months.
