Pros

Managers for my team were proactive about offering opportunities for personal growth. Fellow coworkers on immediate team are incredibly intelligent, talented and focused. Culture is very inclusive. Excellent focus on work-life balance - management values working smarter over working longer. Prior to layoffs, this would have been an excellent place to learn and grow for many more years.

Cons

Tons of favoritism in larger department, resulting in the same people getting all the high-visibility projects regardless of actual ability or effectiveness. Certain teams hold information close to their vests and don't like to share until it's too late for others to give input, resulting in horrible execution with long-ranging results. Upper management likes to make decisions based on emotions, let teams build up momentum, and then go back on their word. Recent massive layoffs are being handled poorly. Upper mgmt is continuously stringing associates along & not providing any information, yet all teams are being asked to stay motivated and continue meeting sales goals.

Pros

There is job security if you can get past the cons.

Cons

They say they care; unless you request a pay raise, a future path, ask the why's to policies, or ask if they would be willing to do a hybrid shift if they are not going to subsidize gas with the prices right now. Jacksonville is very cliquish, If you make their favorite supervisor made, then all of leadership is mad at you. They will find a way to fire you if they so please instead of giving you a chance to make improvements. Health is not important to them. You will pay 1400 dollars a month in insurance for your family, and if you use it, then get ready for those co-pays, They offer tuition program, unless you would like to be reimbursed per their SOP. Do not fear! You will not get a pay raise for education acheivements
