Pros
Used to be a good company 10+ years ago and some very good experienced specialists here, however most have been driven out or RIFed by an unpleasant culture at certain levels only looking out for themselves.
Cons
Toxic blame culture that rewards employees who often do the least and punishes those who work hard to change what’s not working. Your entire success is at your manager’s discretion and there are some very poor lifers who have survived and been promoted simply for going along to get along and not doing the right thing. Revolving door with exceptionally high turnover because of poor pay, cheap benefits and a clear tolerance and preference of management for ‘yes people’ however lazy or incompetent they may be at their jobs. Constant change initiatives and pivots for the sake of change, to cut employee numbers, and/or to make certain leaders justify their existence, even when not needed. This often causes chaos at lower levels with not enough staff to perform the jobs leaving those left behind overburdened and without any work/life balance. Outdated, management culture and approach. “You’re lucky to have a job”, "Get on with it", “Take it or leave it” approach for past years. Many people did just that leaving a deficit of experience and knowledge in many areas. HR policy consistently reinforces the top-down hierarchical culture rather than supporting employees who need it at middle and lower levels. Outdated technology and unnecessary, overly bureaucratic hierarchical structure which makes getting even often simple tasks done a painful and drawn out process.
