Pros

Very direct and straightforward guiding principals and values. Easy to get along with all levels of employee Great bonus and annual Holiday bonus

Cons

Not very transparent when it comes to job security. Such a huge number of employees were laid off over the past 3-7 years that we are completely bare bones with the staff. Whenever one person is out sick or on vacation everyone pitches in, but it's getting old. When I come back from vacation or time off I am more stressed out at the abundant catch up I have to do, while taking on the next vacationers work load too. No transparency as the company preaches; we have no idea why our policy count keeps spiraling down and no idea what the company has in mind to correct it. They offer encouraging speaches but never give us a definite feeling of security.

Pros

I worked with several talented people and had positive interactions with multiple business stakeholders. The company has strong brand recognition, meaningful business lines, and some leaders who genuinely value recruiting partnership.

Cons

My experience in Talent Acquisition became increasingly difficult because the management style I experienced felt highly controlling, punitive, and focused more on scrutiny than coaching, workload calibration, or clear success metrics. In my opinion, the environment became one where a manager’s narrative could outweigh production, stakeholder feedback, and the actual complexity of the workload. I raised concerns through internal channels and later experienced increased scrutiny, formal performance action, and ultimately termination with what I viewed as a vague and incomplete explanation. From my perspective, the process lacked fairness, transparency, and meaningful opportunity to address concerns through objective measures. I would caution candidates and employees to pay close attention to the specific leadership chain they would report into, not just the broader company reputation. Advice to Management: Ensure performance concerns are handled with clear metrics, documented coaching, balanced stakeholder input, and genuine review of workload realities. A company’s employment brand is affected not only by candidate experience, but also by how internal employees are treated when they raise concerns.
