Great company but many bad areas

Pros

Great company culture that makes you excited to come to work every day. CEO, Hubert Joly truly has passion for making the company great and cares about each person who works there. They offer a lot of flexibility, great benefits and an incredible diversity and inclusion program with employee focus groups.

Cons

Politics and high school behavior in some departments, including putting other employees down and excluding those that don't fit into their mold. I watched several great employees be pushed out of the company, some had been there for many years. No transparency or inclusion within teams. Upper management and HR don't seem to care, and are usually encouraging the behavior, and the team continues to see incredible turnover due to their high expectations.

Pros

I used to be able to work from home which was a big plus - but they took that away in 2014. Some good managers that appreciated your hard work.

Cons

They require you to work at least 45 hours a week - but only pay you for 40 hours a week. Most of my managers did not know how to manage. they were promoted because someone above them liked them. When I left, I had an exit interview which was a joke. The HR person wrote it in a little notebook with a lot of other notes. When I asked if it would be entered into the system, I was told there is no place to enter it. They just keep the exit interviews in notebooks. They keep cutting workers until now there are not enough people to do the job.
