Pros

Great coworkers Resume building opportunity Used to be a good place to work

Cons

High turnover rate Burn out Below state and national average salary Leadership disregard for employee welfare Micromanagement This is not a place you want to work. If you receive an offer, reduce the hourly rate by 50% since that’s what you will really earn per hour. Morale is low. We fear losing our jobs. Anyone in a position to leave is leaving and the rest are looking elsewhere. Salaried employees are expected to work >60hrs per week. In addition to daylight M-F hours, we’re working nights after 11P, weekends, and taking 24x7 on call rotation every few weeks. I’ve never encountered a group of salaried employees whose time is so strictly monitored or projects micromanaged. Exhaustion and burnout are rampant. Forget spending time with your family or friends. Pay is below state and national average for most positions and women are paid just 60% of what men are paid in equivalent positions. There are few opportunities for advancement in rank or pay. Advancement opportunities only present when staff leave or are demoted. Small benefits like “casual dress code”, “flexible schedule”, “work from home”, and “time off” no longer exist. Pre-approved paid time off is revoked at the last moment with little or no explanation. The insurance benefits require employees to use Carillon facilities and the Carillon Pharmacy no matter how inconvenient. The change control process is so arduous, it takes days to request assistance of a coworker reporting who reports to a different supervisor. It takes hours each day just to document work and time since there are not enough licenses for the time system. Leadership is duplicitous and inconsistent. The rumor mill has a greater accuracy rate than communication from leadership. We are told of internal job postings only to discover external candidates are selected. We hear that our jobs are safe one moment and that outsourcing is imminent the next. We’ve been told our department will become a consulting firm. Senior leaders tell us to work with our direct supervisor if we need time off after overnight, yet the direct supervisors refuse to modify schedules and punish those requesting schedule changes. It is common to overhear leadership dressing down subordinates for minor infractions. The CIO is a profoundly negative fellow who periodically sends out scathing emails regarding t-shirts, system changes, or break room clutter and will not even acknowledge your presence as you greet him in the hallway. HR and consultants have been brought in to rebrand the restructuring and layoff process as a “service transformation". When we provide honest feedback about the restructuring, we’re chastised for being disengaged. TSG used to be a good place to work and build a career. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. Build your resume and get out before this department collapses under its own weight.

Pros

I can listen to music

Cons

Are you searching for a job that truly redefines your expectations — in all the worst ways? Step right up. Do you enjoy being encouraged into prayer at gatherings? Craving a workplace that preaches caring about employees while doing the exact opposite? You’re in luck. Looking for a company that refuses to hire enough staff, then wonders why everything is falling apart? Perfect match. Love the idea of all your holidays, sick days, and PTO being mashed into one tiny 7‑hour‑every‑two‑weeks accrual? A true masterpiece of “efficiency.” Want to meet every requirement management throws at you… only to receive no raise whatsoever? Inspirational. Dream of dedicating five years of your life just to earn a microscopic pension? A real fairy tale. Training? Don’t be silly. Inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees? Only if “inclusion” means pretending the topic doesn’t exist. Improvement? Why improve when ignoring problems is free — and money is more important anyway. Enjoy paying more and more every year for health insurance that somehow keeps getting worse? A rare skill, really. And don’t forget the cherry on top: internal company “reviews” that claim to be anonymous… but absolutely are not. Nothing says “we value feedback” like making sure no one feels safe giving any. If you love hearing that multiple employees are unhappy, seeing bad reviews pile up, and being underpaid for the mountain of nonsense you deal with daily, congratulations! You’ve found your forever home.
