Schneider reviews

Some mangers should not be managers. There is still fear of layoffs, people aren't feeling as secure as they once were. Although they have been accommodating to me and my schedule, I still feel like my luck will run out soon and if I don't comply I will be out of a job.

They are so segmented and there is a lack of continuity and cohesion between departments. So much time is wasted in meetings because no one seems to take responsibility for decisions, it's all committee consensus. There are very secretive and don't even allow employees to see an organizational chart. You never know who to contact for information and are not given information on associate locations within an organization (you can schedule a meeting and only later will learn that the person is in another state.) Names are listed in alphabetical order, not by job title. Institutional history is closely guarded, so as a new employee, you are required to depend on others to learn about the culture, the accepted norms, etc. Cubes are the norm, and as a manager you could be located next to an entry level hourly employee. There is no privacy at all. I was there 18 months and was moved four times.
