Pros

Free food and swag for employees

Cons

If someone doesn't like you it is easy for them to set you up for failure and discontinue your contract without warning. While in training class, I left my computer unlocked by accident. The other new hire took the opportunity to write slanderous things about me and congratulatory things about themselves from my chat account. This was joked about and encourage by a trainer in training in the room when I returned. This was done under the guise of teaching the trainee about desktop security. But it is never ok to impersonate someone or slander someone on an employee chat board. You are actually also training some one to be an insider threat by encouraging them to use someone else account without permission. If a person leaves their keys in their car it does not give someone the right to steal it.

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
