Pros

Good coworkers (management is a different story), plenty of relocation opportunities, decent starting salary, good benefits. Good job security under normal market conditions.

Cons

Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians. The management ranks have grown exponentially over the last couple of years, but very little has been done to fortify the front lines. Not enough focus on the customer. Company is trying to re-invent the wheel with their new business model instead of keeping it simple. Most managers have to find reasons to justify their new positions. Long hours for mediocre pay - it takes an act of congress to get a worthwhile raise. 401(k) match is weak, stock purchasing plan not based on the American dollar. Out-dated technology, although there are newer systems coming in the future.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
