Pros

Pension and 401k are great, used to be a fantastic place to work and grow your career. Lots of people who are super talented and bright

Cons

Management at the top has become completely detached from the front line staff and operations. Change has been relentless over the past 5 years, all with little noticeable improvement. Strategy and vision are non-existent, persistent “keep doing what we’ve always done” mentality. Technology is out of date and does not enable employees to do their job efficiently. Toxic managers are allowed to destroy those that work for them and are continually rewarded despite their behavior. Throughout the pandemic, despite emails from leadership saying otherwise, these toxic managers continued to pressure employees to take on more and more and had no regard for mental health, work/life balance or overall well being. Mass exodus has begun to happen and top management isn’t allowing all the positions to be filled - allowing for more work to be piled onto the already burnt out teams. No regard for those leaving either; I was a long-tenured employee and didn’t even get an exit interview. Mentality of “everyone is replaceable” is prevalent throughout.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
