Terrible Management and HR

Anonymous employee

Pros

The pantry - free soda, juice, tea, coffee, water, fruit, crackers....

Cons

They tend to place people in management positions that aren't management material. People inherit a management position because they hire one person, realize there needs to be a team to support that person, and then they're automatically a manager. The culture is terrible. Nobody builds relationships to try and work together to solve problems. Never go to HR if you have a problem with management because they will always side with the manager no matter what. HR is also not honest. You can be in the same organization, but not have to abide by the same culture rules. Examples: Working from home is either banned or used up to 4 days a week all depending on a manager. There's no consistency. They don't pay attention to how to appeal to all generations. Salaries are way lower than the market value despite what they will try and tell you.

Pros

Great group of coworkers. on12 rocks especially the sushi! Free water, soda and oj on pantries. No ties required.

Cons

Your brown nosing abilities outweigh your performance. Morale is low at Admin Services/Facilities. Several long timers have left or been fired.

Pros

Large firm, so there are some good people, but working with one of them will happen by chance.

Cons

Firm is top heavy with to many people working to keep their job instead of actually doing their job. A lot of talk about culture and values, but it's all rhetoric.
