      Disappointing and Desperately

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent benefits Paid weekly for field positions (even leadership)

      Cons

      Zero onboarding formalities—for a company this size I thought they would have more processes in place…Not at all. My “onboarding” was pitiful. Lack of trust—for the business unit i was in, the culture was absolutely toxic. Leadership was participating in the rumor mill and it was overall struggling Poor coaching and mentoring—so many that wanted or could advance but no leaders wanted to nurture that. Potential for unions-I had a union in my BU and it was so toxic. Years of disgruntled relationships
