Pros

The location is very close to the belt-line so that can help with the commute.

Cons

There is literally no reason to come to work for this company and it is a tremendous shame how toxic the culture became in such a short period of time. A short list of some of things that have happened in the recent past include: 1) As mentioned in other reviews, benefits / bonuses continue to shrink or become eliminated. This has occurred at the same time of increasing growth and improved earnings and during a successful sale of the organization to new ownership. 2) Sr. Leadership meetings regularly devolve into temper tantrums. If results are not where they should be, you will very likely be insulted and cursed at. In one instance, I witnessed an executive throw their computer. The rest of the leadership team generally looks at the floor, trying to avoid eye contact rather than become a target. Do not expect to get much assistance or resources to get goals back on track either. 3) When hired, you are required to provide proof of current salary. This is to ensure that Springs does not "overpay" for talent. This should be the first reminder of your value to the organization. 4) Employees are fairly regularly terminated with little to no notice. The company is fond of conducting job searches in private so they have backups ready to go. Severance policies have effectively been discontinued. 5) Personally, I was once called and brow beaten by a Sr. Leader for failing to update a non-time sensitive action item. I took this phone call while sitting in the ER with a loved one. And the Sr. Leader knew that was where I was at because they were with me when I had to leave work early. But they were afraid of being on the receiving end of a temper tantrum so I got it first. 6) Expect to be micro-managed until you decide to leave. Only the most Sr. Leaders have any decision authority. Middle and junior managers will spend most of their time updating reports and attempting to blame-shift / cover their rear so they can avoid the inevitable meltdown. Believe it or not, this is a short list. As I said in the beginning, there is literally zero good reason to work for Springs until the culture changes. Take less money / demotion and work somewhere else. It is not worth it.

Pros

Pay is decent but no more bonuses

Cons

Company culture has gone drastically down hill in the last two years. Describing the CEO, Eric Jungbluth, as a poor leader would be a drastic understatement. He has outbursts like a petulant child, disagreement is not allowed, he has created a culture of fear and subservience to the point where the rest of the leadership cowers and says nothing when he publicly belittles employees. The talent drain over the past 6 months has been incredible whether it was from forced exits to voluntarily departures, anyone who is talented has either already left or is actively looking.

Hostile, Toxic, and Unhappy at Corporate

Pros

This company has many good, hard working associates. There is supposedly a major renovation planned for the aging building; however it is worth noting that this was essentially funded by withholding our 2017 associate bonuses.

Cons

Where to begin?! While the number of Senior Leaders has nearly doubled over the last year, there is not a single woman or POC in a leadership position within the company. This is easily recognized by simply walking through the halls – the men have offices, and the women have cubicles. In fact, they’ve even recently removed some of the few women in offices to make room for the new crop of white, male VPs. This would be an embarassment for most companies of this size; Springs, on the other hand, seems to have doubled down on their males-only position. Associates are expected to work long hours with little or no acknowledgement or recognition. Nights and weekends in the office are the norm at all levels, and associates who work 8:00-5:00/5:30 are seen as slackers or underachievers; there is no interest in a meaningful discussion around work/life balance. Likewise, leaders and managers have no interest in providing guidance and support for their direct reports, nor are there any opportunities, programs, or discussions around professional development. Technology and processes are out of date, and the direction from leadership is not clear. Progress has pretty much ground to a halt, as the leadership micromanages decisions at all levels. Due to the lack of a cohesive long-term strategy, they often change their minds and demand insane amounts of rework. Here’s the bottom line: The CEO has actively cultivated a hostile, toxic culture, and mid-level managers have done absolutely nothing to combat it. Employees are not valued as “people”; we are simply workers and nothing more. The result is a wholly unhappy workplace from which quality associates are fleeing as quickly as possible.
