What Work/Life Balance?

Anonymous employee

Pros

Good Salaries and good benefits, stable company.

Cons

"Stepford Wife' management style; tendency to hire 'like" employees, little diversity in thought, look, or life experience. Unreasonable expectations given the so-called commitment to work/life balance. There is no balance. Long hours are the norm at most levels. Little trust of management or the processes in place to make change or voice concern
