Not great

Pros

- It is a job

Cons

- Not a place to expect growth. - They do not celebrate their staff, work or anything but people leaving. - Some management (who have been there for 8+ years) is challenging to work with because most have no managerial training or interest. They frequently complain to their subordinates about how useless the HR training videos are which teach them how to manage instead of being company liabilities. These managers desperately need this training and are the cause of many qualified people leaving quickly. - There is a growing shift to contract out work (at a higher cost) that was historically done in-house. The contractors that are hired are old friends of the long time (8+ years) managers and frequently require the in-house teams to redo and fix the problems the contractors create. - The lunch room is not equipped to handle the people it needs to serve. There is no quiet space but it is equipped with a broken dishwasher & unsanitary dish washing tools. Not great when it's raining and there is nowhere else to go during your unpaid 30 minute lunch break. - The building is frequently under construction in various areas. This frequently displaces staff to loud and over crowded areas.
