Pros

They work 37.5 hours a week. That’s the only pro.

Cons

Management has no idea what they are doing and employees with more experience than they have are reprimanded when suggesting an idea. The company is being held back because instead of embracing outside perspectives, those ideas are dismissed. Instead, they put people in management positions who have no experience or expertise in their assigned practice areas and promote people who have backgrounds that are completely unrelated. They expect you to be a robot and sit at your desk all day. They record the length of your breaks, even though, by law, they are required to give you two 30 minutes breaks a day. Their “coaching sessions” are BS. They clearly don’t know the definition of the word “coaching”, but instead they provide you with a list of things they don’t like about you. (They don’t embrace outside personalities, but instead if you aren’t like them then you are out). They “coach” you and then reprimand you when behaviors haven’t changed 3 days later. This a completely no fun, all work zone. Personally, I felt victimized. They claim to be part of the “me too”, but only when it’s convenient for them. When called to HR, I felt completely uncomfortable by one of their male representatives. I was continually made fun of by co-workers, upper management and even a VP. I wouldn’t recommend that my worst enemy work there. Oh, wait, some of them do though...

Pros

Common sense approach. Willing to listen to new ideas and implement what is cost effective. Team work with peers and management.

Cons

Reducing the authority given to positions and personel that made sense on paper but reduced customer service. Prompt service can alarm a customer but really caring will be remembered.

Pros

Some of the people are great; benefits are "O.K.; continuing education is strongly encouraged; flexible hours.

Cons

Antiquated software and automation programs; senior management takes way too long to make decisions; almost everything done by consensus vote as senior management scared to make decision; silo mentality between departments.
