Pros

Great co-workers. Plus, low stress due to lack of management oversight, leadership, accountability, performance metrics. A great place to put in your time and draw a paycheck; albeit at below industry standard for your job title.

Cons

Buffoonish, incompetent corporate leadership with zero strategic vision. Resulting in depressing failures of key initiatives after years of effort and millions of dollars invested. Constant upheaval and change due to an "idea of the month" management style. Frequent resignations of key people due to frustration, poor morale, lack of salary increases and no hope for things to get better. Repeated layoffs due to dire financial circumstances. Line level managers and supervisors are very weak. Just punching the time clock and laying low. No bold leadership. Only fear of attracting negative attention from corporate leadership. These managers and supervisors serve merely as clapping seals for corporate leadership.

Pros

Job is ever changing. No 2 question are alike. The pay is ok and the people and culture is very postivte. The office has a execise room and is free.

Cons

Bonus was a plenty but non-existant not too many wage increases. Not even cost of living one. Sometime our voice is not heard. We have to deal with difficult clients once in a while

Pros

Great culture in regard to quality of employees and being very dedicated to doing great work. Very good work/life balance and understanding of needing to take time off for personal items. Very accommodating when needing to work remote (depending on the position) and a great IS staff.

Cons

A pay freeze has been in place for many years, which has caused some very good people to move onto other opportunities. It's been difficult to watch some upper-management positions being filled with people getting large salaries that seemed to have questionable alignment to the company's core values. I know many current employees wonder if they are there for the betterment of Columbia Ultimate or themselves.
