Pros

Your team and the people you know are going to make or break the day to day, and if nothing else you are going to learn a lot, because odds are high that you are covering for someone who left and you have to learn to do their job for no pay increase, and if you are very lucky a backfill will be approved for the open role. Good medical benefits too.

Cons

-Poorly handled RTO implementation and turnaround. At best leadership came off as sheltered and micromanage-y. -Once you pass a certain level of the company your budget to bring people where you want is unlimited, but below that and hope you can get approval for teammates to go to an office in their state (the company won’t reimburse the commute) and sit in a room to all dial in to a Teams meeting in separate states and try your best to do team building that way. -Someone I know joked earlier this fall that they didn’t know how morale could fall any lower. Surprise, the layoff announcements a week before Thanksgiving did it! -speaking of, the layoff/offshoring announcement feels like leadership broadly sees us all as replaceable cogs that they’d offshore to get a dime increase on stock price. Great feeling guys. -I know that we’ve been limited on company parties because of the pandemic, but guys, maybe a holiday party and literally any indication that leadership sees us as something other than walking salary expenses might do something for the morale problem. -while this is the first company I’ve worked for that actually does regular raises, 3% as the best you can hope for isn’t great, and most people seem to get raises by doing stints at other companies and getting hired back -I’m realizing as I’m typing this that between poor pay, underesourcing, and leadership favoring micromanagement that it’s starting to feel like I work at WalMart, and man, that is not what I signed up for.

Pros

At this point, the only pro to working here is the great people you meet. But even that is diminishing - all the dedicated, hard working, intelligent, and friendly people have been either left or been laid off!

Cons

I would like to preface this by saying that I believe a lot of the 4 and 5 star reviews I’ve seen recently on Glassdoor are fake. However, I would not be surprised by the company doing all they can to present a false narrative of how their company is really looked at by current employees. I had the pleasure of working for the company when it was under the CEO Jim Peck, prior to Chris Cartwright. In the last 4 years, since Mr. Cartwright has been in his position, I can slowly but surely see this company heading to hell in a handbasket. 1. There is a steep and insulting inequity in the salary this company is willing to pay employees. 2. The leadership, VPs, Executives and so-on throughout corporate have made it very clear that they do not care about their employees. Will not discuss plans to adjust compensation, will not discuss plans to address the quickly growing number of disgruntled employees, and even went so far as to tell everyone at the company that “if you don’t like what we’re doing then you can leave”. Absolutely uncaring, unprofessional and cold to the core. 3. There are people who have worked for this company well over 15, 20, 25+ years who have always been happy, supported, and felt a sense of purpose. It’s no mystery what the real issue is when you consider the amount of unhappy folks here, I can throw a stone and hit someone right now who is currently experiencing at least 2 of the following - underpayment, no reward good work (only being handed more work), lack of resources and support, increased workload/expectations with continuous layoffs, attrition through the roof. I could write a novel on the drastically negative changes that I’ve seen come to fruition here. Over the course of 4 years Chris Cartwright and the other Chiefs, Executives, VPs, and so on have slowly but surely changed the entire reputation of TU for the worse. What they have done in the last 4 years to destroy TU, would take 2-3X that amount of time to undo. It’s very sad to see - especially as a dedicated worker who has always put my best foot forward and advocated for this company. Never again at this point or in the future would I EVER suggest that anyone work here, and I highly suggest that those who do find their way out immediately. This company does not care about us and has made that very clear.
