Has Potential but Lacks Key Elements of a Healthy Workplace

Pros

-Best work/life balance of any position. Your time away from the office is yours. -Meditation rooms are available for use -Overall peaceful/spa-like atmosphere but not much energy/excitement -Generous vacation time -Great healthcare & benefits

Cons

-No work from home options, even if you live far away/on bad weather days -Very heavy politics internally -Bullying and aggression occurs from some middle management (and is excused because it's referred to as a management "style"). Turnover rate is high in this dept., so the "style" doesn't seem to be working. HR has unfortunately overlooked it multiple times. -No room for growth or mentorship -Departments work in silos and there is no process; would suggest project management overall and traffic managers -Even when salaried, you're made to clock in/out daily--not used as a time tracker to measure efficiency, comes off as very distrusting towards employees

Pros

On the surface, the company seems to be very people oriented - friendly and accessible. Their public image looks great but the reality is a whole other story. Id say the marketing folks have done a good job with what the founders would like it to be, but that's not what its' really like to work there.

Cons

Rampant favoritism by upper management. The rich keep getting richer while there are many folks who cant afford to pay their heating bills. Pay is not great. Upward mobility very limited except for the chosen few. The are "employee owned" but some employees are way more equal than others.

Not the most positive experience

Pros

Good benefits, good salary, good camaraderie, free shoes! Lots of events held for the staff. Good culture and overall company values are very sound. Each month birthday's are celebrated and acknowledged.

Cons

No chance to grow or career opportunities. Often times a negative environment and upper management is blissfully unaware of how some departments are managed. Everyone has their own agenda and doesn't work as a team. Little to no organization or communication.
