Pros

Good health benefits. Some great talent (many people are leaving tho). Reasonable work/life balance.

Cons

No bonuses and raises are ridiculously low (or non-existent). Promotions only occur at the top. Management team is greedy, selfish and only focused on short-term decisions to boost the stock price. Company shifted from being focused on the customer experience to trying to get ever dollar out of them to boost margins.

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.
