Management is a joke

Anonymous employee

Pros

The benefits are great, and the customers are fantastic. The direct team, excluding management, is also excellent.

Cons

Management is clueless and clueless about anything. They don’t understand their job and all they do is send long emails, schedule meetings to stay updated, and show that they’re needed. It’s a joke. People who have been there for over 20 years have to go. They resist change and are a hindrance to the company’s overall success. Bill, please pay attention to these employees.

Pros

They are a stable employer with good benefits.

Cons

Current structure highly limits growth opportunities. Further, many of the new leaders being brought in are worsening the overall culture. They make it toxic at times.
