Employees are not valued

Pros

There is a very strong internal bond (personally/professionally) between associates. The Executive Team is professional and truly wants the best for the employees.

Cons

The company has not given company wide merit/cost of living raises in years (in some cases over 5 years). All qualified/experienced staff leave shortly after being recruited.

Pros

Flexibility Occasional 401K match There's a 20 word minimum for this section...I don't have that many things to be positive about.

Cons

Lack of employee morale. You're seen as someone who's lucky to here, not as someone who's valued for making a difference. A "jeans" day costs NOTHING and is basically taboo here. Lack of communication company-wide. People come and go so often, you have no idea who's visiting and who's a new employee since most are not announced until they're here for weeks and some are gone for weeks before employees are notified, if they're notified at all. No salary increases in YEARS. Sometimes bonuses and 401K matches are given...equally. This gives the employees the impression that there is no reason to work harder than the laziest person since we all come out the same in the end. Advice/attitude from HR/upper management is "if you don't like it here, go somewhere else" rather than trying to improve current situations. You never know when you're next on the chopping block, so most are in fear of losing their jobs every day. I could keep going, but you get the idea.

Pros

Good hours and decent vacation and PTO package. Scheduling is somewhat flexible.

Cons

The employees here are deeply unhappy, making this a pretty toxic work environment. Productivity is extremely low. People are laid off frequently and without much warning. Upper management rarely promotes from within and will hire outside talent to fill any leadership positions. Salaries are extremely low and not at all industry competitive.
