Somehow gets worse every year

Pros

Giving us one Mental health day in October to make up for the stress and toxic culture of the rest of the year

Cons

2020 - After COVID hit, allowed WFH only after other companies started doing it too. Mandatory 15% salary reductions for all employees. 401k match suspended for rest of year. 2021 - Began posting about the upcoming transformation (layoffs) as early as February.After the “transformation”, many key employees were fired and remaining team members were not given additional resources to deal with those absences. Positions are still not backfilled. 2022 - New CEO comes in and is somehow worse than the previous one. Forces employees to return on site for 3 days a week starting in September. Does not engage with employees or feign any interest in public health. Uninspiring “future states” are touted as the way to move forward, so the trend for SLT is to move forward with blinders on. But any concerns brought up by employees who actually work with affected clients are dismissed and ridiculed. Of course, many copies just care about bottom line-profit. The issue with NSF is the disillusionment that inevitably comes as an employee who works here longer than a couple years. Upper management continues to squeeze downward and talented people will continue to leave.

CEO and Senior management out of touch with employees

Pros

Current work life balance is great.

Cons

-Salaries are low in comparison to the current market. Senior management is reluctant to address this gap and as a result we are continuing to lose talent. When staff brought this concern forward to Senior Management, management dodged the question and told staff we needed to 'work harder' to meet budget so they could afford to raise salaries for existing staff. -Recently Senior management decided that they needed to have bodies back in the office in a hybrid model if you are within 25 miles so that we can collaborate more effectively. The reason for given to staff is weak at best and insensitive given the current state of the economy (gas prices, rising inflation, etc.). We continue to provide feedback as such to our managers but the management has refused to listen to their staff and communicate this to Pedro. Staff are angry and management does not seem to want to listen.
