Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.

Pros

Really tries to do the right thing for employees and the communities where it has facilities. Competitive benefits and salary. Diverse product lines that gives the company a chance to continue to grow, which it typically does faster than its peers. CEO is fantastic.

Cons

Sometimes feels like it's a little bloated - like most big companies, plenty of bureaucracy and some level of over-staffing that can limit career opportunities for everyone (not enough high-profile/high-impact projects to go around)

Work life balance

Pros

Patient focused culture. Employee development and diversity, and inclusion. They do care for their employees and offer flexible schedules. Work life balance is big.

Cons

Will take some time to move up. You have to speak up and make your goals very clear and keep pushing. Some department managers still chose favorites. Compensation is not bad but not the best compared to similar companies and roles.
