From Erin Woltz, VP Talent Management: Thank you for your feedback. We are proud that our efforts in DEI, talent development, and pay equity have not gone unnoticed. We acknowledge that there are short periods of time where the needs of the business can be higher than usual. We encourage employees to work with their managers to schedule time off throughout the year, during less busy times, so they get well-deserved time off before end-of-year peak times.

RETIREMENT NB NEEDS A REVAMP

Pros

Benefits and remote work are the only things I can think of.

Cons

Pay - they often stress that the pay is competitive but many long-time employees are still on the low to mid pay grade. Poor management - Favoritism lingers within retirement NB because of lazy and poor work quality employees are never held accountable for not pulling their end of the weight which leads to a lack of motivation from others. Favorited employees are given PTO privileges despite rules in place which limits how many people can be out at the same time. Management will ignore or answer vaguely on what they don't want to discuss or address.
