Pros

Bonus, but it had gotten worse every year. We were told to quit calling it bonus and start calling it “incentive”. This was when they kept purposely changing the way it was based each year. The “incentive” was the only thing that made up for the lower than standard pay for like jobs elsewhere.

Cons

Very unfair HR practices. Not all positions are posted and they tend to give the high level jobs to their friends. I really cannot see how this is even acceptable under EOE laws. Not all positions that were open were put in their KnowMe job posting system. You just sort of find out that there is a new director or manager in open positions. Also, very poor decision making at the top leadership level. Always putting the cart before the horse. Losing customers by rolling out things like click list and not having the infrastructure to truly handle it without impacting the customer. 401K funds are changed out when they start performing well and you are forced to put money in those funds into the new cheaper ones they create or whatever they have available. Incredibly antiquated computer infrastructure with way too many systems that do not talk to each other.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
