Pros

Great place to launch your career, a lot of opportunities to be offered. Can make your way up the ladder if you're willing to stick your neck out and take advantage of opportunities.

Cons

No company culture at all. You question what your purpose is or why you're even there. Not exciting work at all.

Pros

The people are the best part of the company. Genuinely nice and we are all willing to help each other out across departments to achieve goals and get the job done. But most were in place before current top management arrived so they get no credit. The local market manager seems to be a good person and care about us being successful and having fun, something that was lacking for years. Health insurance is ok with HSA, about what you get at other companies across the country.

Cons

Salary as others have said no raises for many people for many years, they only award merit raises , that was their way of getting out of cost of living increases. But the CEO , CFO and top management all took bonuses of millions of dollars while the company was in bankruptcy and a judge signed off on it, who paid him off! The info is all accessible through SEC filings, especially now that they are a public company again. Management needs major improvement, many old school managers not willing to change or take chances. Some need to take emotional intelligence classes, as they are belittling, demeaning and just don't listen. One manager used to call up and scream at his employee, I told her to record those call as he was creating a hostile work environment. Fortunately that manager is gone now. Advancement not possible unless you are the favored few regardless of experience or talent. But I have seen some talented people get promoted. They also talk about diversity and great culture, they should send some spies into different cities and find the real truth. No one will openly speak out for fear of losing their jobs. And back to health insurance, company stopped contributing to HSA a few years back because CFO said "we were all in good shape and didn't need their help". Sorry but you have to hit $3000 before plan begins paying, and those not making great money like him counted on that $500-800 help at beginning of the year as we added our own money into the HSA. After the recent downsizing btw, which is done by an algorithm to determine your worth, morale is at all time low. Also heard the "enhanced benefits" were really not that good compared to past severance packages given to other employees. Also the downsizing email was released while they were firing people, WOW! Company has no humility, they like to pound chest and brag how good they are to employees. Really? Wwe know how good we are so who are you speaking to? A great company never has to say how good they are, they just do it. Word of mouth will sell your attributes. Fyi I have not disclosed my real location because they could track me down and eliminate my job. Yes that is real concern.
