Pros

Immediate supervisors seem to care.

Cons

All decisions seem to be made from the top down and nothing that the persons who actually perform the tasks is taken into account. I worked for two years asking for management objectives and never got them. Then I was told that I did not meet expectations so I got an "average" performance review. When I protested this for the second year in a row I was let go and six months later I can still not get a straight answer from HR or the office of associate relations as the actual reason I was terminated. Not the "On Your Side" service they profess to deliver.

Pros

The people hired as Retirement Specialist are great to work with. The company started a development program to develop the Program Directors into leaders. I felt the pay was good, other Retirement Specialist did not agree.

Cons

The company is loosing market share. There is no plan to become more completive. Manager's in some areas burn through people with no concern for employee turn over.

Pros

Stable (yet) Fitness Center You can be promoted if you have relatives/friends in upper management

Cons

The more you work the more you have to work. So, generally, people do not work and only pretend (go to the meetings and sleep) Agile environment and open space There is only one way to get promoted - jump to other area. So real specialist who do actual work are never promoted.
