Pros

Zero transparency from upper management Toxic culture If you are reading this, know that any positive reviews flanking this one are fake.

Cons

UKG is quickly nosediving downwards in every aspect. No longer does the company care about its employees, and very little is being done to even hide that. If it weren't enough to require employees, even those hired as remote, to report into an office multiple times a week or threaten immediate termination, layoffs are issued even before they could wait for the new policy to go into effect! Obviously, people were going to leave on their own volition if you require them to suddenly commute 100+ miles for no reason. It's very apparent that good employees are being pushed out. If you don't like it, just don't show up to the office and get "self-resigned" (so you can't get unemployment). Apparently running a business into the ground is top of mind for the investors and the executives calling the shots.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
