Pros

Really great benefits (medical, dental, 401K, flex spending etc). More than fair compensation. Some opportunity for growth depending on the timing and who you know.

Cons

There are a lot of office politics. A lot of people have been there for a very long time and are stuck in a, "that's the way we've always done it" type mentality. There are some romances between managers and their subordinates that have been going on and a lot of other managers turn a blind eye. There's a lot of blaming and not a lot of responsibility taking. No support from HR whatsoever. Definitely some race tension amongst departments. In trying to save money, they will pile a lot of work onto one person in various departments.

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
