Pros

Hybrid work environment Subpar coffee and food Gym available Ability to volunteer during work hours Alliances to join Mentorship available

Cons

There is too much middle management with lack of leadership skills. Additionally, leadership and management do not seem to speak with each other and there is a disconnect. Below market salaries, yet, they have been working on this and nothing has changed. Onboarding is absolutely terrible. I have heard this in various departments. Sort of a sink or swim mentality in a well established company... They will watch good employees walk away time and time again and not look inward. At least one person has left every month since I have been at the company. I would expect more structure and organization at a company that has been around since the 60's. Instead, it heavily depends on what team you're on, and not only are the departments functioning differently, but the regions are as well which causes disconnect and chaos. There is very little accountability and obvious nepotism which leads to promotion. The insurance is terrible.

Pros

I really like my manager and the people I work with. The workload is manageable and they are really good about helping you reach your goals and rise the ranks in the company

Cons

The health insurance is very bad. If I didn’t already work here and was established I would find a different company. It’s impossible to get any type of surgery scheduled without doing a ton of work in advance and still getting help from benefits who are busy trying to figure out insurance for the entire company. Health insurance should be a right and it should become a second full time job trying to figure everything out.
