Pros

The paycheck are clearing the bank

Cons

Morale is at an all time low. I work with multiple departments and I can say that I have never seen morale this low. The new CEO Brian Provost is more concerned with bragging about how many snowmobiles and atv's he has, and name dropping a bunch of corporate america leaders to make it seem like he knows what he is doing. He also likes to brag about firing people from previous companies. Everyone working here sees it and is getting fed up. To top it off, he has imported a bunch of his minnesota corporate stooges to implement his vision and culture. Lightspeed culture was great but since he arrived about a year and half ago, it has eroded. The HR department has coined the term 'Lightspeeders' which the entire company cringes at. Nobody likes it!!!!!!! They are so demeaning and implementing policies that are contrary to hiring promises. Pay is mediocre and work life balance is non existent since the new executive team has arrived. Oh, and health benefits are terrible. But they were bad before they came.
