Pros

There are some good people who work here They have made the benefits slightly better

Cons

Its 100% top down, only the top gets raises while the rest don't get raises for years The benefits while better they are still under the market They micro-mange you, and the second you don't do what they want you are gone Zero respect for or loyalty to employees Its just a toxic culture, even though there are good people here its toxic because its a popularity contest and your performance means nothing to your success. The turnover is REALLY high, especially in IT, the systems and leadership are so bad its hard to have good people stay There was a regime change a year ago and things are only marginally better, its still all about the top.
