Pros

The pay and benefits are slightly competitive.

Cons

They treat employees like they truly believe the saying, "The beatings will continue until morale improves." I was hired at 9 hour days. On my first day, I was told it was going to be a 10 hour day, then it ended up being only 8. Because the whole building is on the same schedule, all of those changes happened to 100ish people. They assign same-day mandatory overtime. If you dare leave at your scheduled time, even for a doctor appointment or another important reason, you get a big mark against your attendance. Their standards for their used cars are incredibly low. They will paint an entire car so it looks good, but not change tires that are worn to secondary rubber on the outside, because the inside tread measures "good enough".

Pros

* Corporate roles offer flexibility, and no one micromanages how you structure your 8-hour day. * Good holiday schedule and work-life balance if you’re in the right role.

Cons

No clear vision or long-term strategy for the Safe & Secure department. * Constant reorganizations and changing priorities. * Positions eliminated, reinstated, and eliminated again. * No stability or clear career path. * Lack of structure and accountability. * “Blind leading the blind” culture. * Chronic understaffing. * Employees expected to do the work of two or three people. * No additional compensation for increased workload. * Leadership’s answer to resource constraints is to “be scrappy.” * High levels of burnout. * Extremely low morale. * Significant loss of talent and leadership. * Employees quitting without another job lined up due to poor working conditions. * Operations Center dismantled, relocated, and then effectively rebuilt again with no clear strategic reason. * Experienced employees terminated, only to recreate similar functions later. * Loss of institutional knowledge. * Frequent reactive decisions instead of proactive planning. * Constant uncertainty creates stress and uneasiness. * Lack of confidence in leadership direction. * Heavy workload with limited support. * Minimal investment in retaining top performers. * Environment not conducive to building a long-term career.
