Pros

If you're lucky enough to land at the Wilmington site, it's a beautiful place to live.

Cons

This place is a house of cards that will fall at any moment. They lack respect for their employees and have a laughable bonus structure. The past few years bonuses were so low, you couldn't even cover dinner and drinks with the payout after taxes. The culture here is oppressive and it's a fend for yourself environment. You'll see behaviors and hear commentary that is not appropriate for a professional workplace. All the teams are stretched past capacity and leadership cannot align its priorities. Too many selfish leaders looking out only for their career growth. All the former employees I've run into in the industry have their own horror story about this place. You will need thick skin to work here and there is no work life balance to help offset the constant insanity. The reviews written portray a bad work environment but are far worse in real life. It's sad because there are enough good people to make the day bearable but not enough to redeem all that is bad. You've been warned.

Pros

It was fun getting trained in new techniques, but they did not prioritize training. The bottom line is all they care about. There were some great coworkers there too. I hope they find a workplace where they are truly valued, cause this is not it.

Cons

I loved working here at first. Then, the good people kept leaving and management became worse. Micromanagement is rampant and new red tape changes to software keep things moving slower and slower. There is no trust in your abilities as an analyst. Management is extremely incompetent and they use fear and bullying through intimidation to deliver results. They will only promote you if they like you as a person. Hard work never gets rewarded, and promotions are unbalanced. Safety, empathy, and quality are taken as suggestions while their antiquated SOPs are considered the highest dogma. Higher turnover rate than most restaurants. Managers talk trash about their employees to other employees. No one who works at the analyst level here is mentally ok. The heartache is not worth the low pay. Watch your back.
