Pros

Currently the industry is making money hand over fist, which results in a good feeling of job security. The other associates are very friendley and easy to work with.

Cons

If you are an innovative, forward thinker this place may not be for you. ABC is a very cost conscious company. If you want the horse and pony show, you will not get it here. Much of the old boys and girls school is prevelent. The lack of competency in the directors and above is a bit scary and sometimes you will even find some of these people do not have bachelor's degree as they were grandfathered in from the merger. Like I said above it can be a very frustrating place to work, as new ideas and forward thinking are not embraced. The focus is not to be an employee centric and engaging place of work, rather let's make as much money as we can, with little spend (and this includes raises and promotions).

Pros

Some remote opportunities, medical benefits used to be good

Cons

This company has made it clear that its employees are not a priority. Over the past several years, there have been repeated layoffs, hiring freezes, and constant cost-cutting, with little regard for the employees left behind or how the remaining work will realistically get done. Many of the decisions don’t make sense. Critical, high-performing employees and essential roles have been eliminated while other positions remain. At the same time, new processes and layers of bureaucracy have been introduced that make even simple tasks take much longer, leaving employees with less time to focus on the work that actually serves clients. I genuinely feel for both the employees who remain and the clients, who ultimately bear the consequences of these decisions. The workload continues to increase while staffing decreases, creating an unsustainable environment. If you’re considering applying here, I’d think carefully. The company has laid off dozens of long-tenured employees—many with decades of service—without hesitation. That sends a clear message about how employee loyalty is valued. What has been especially disappointing is the lack of interest in employee feedback. In all my years here, I was never asked for ideas on how my department or the company could operate more effectively, despite those doing the work often having the best insight into what needs improvement. To make matters worse, 50-hour workweeks have become the expectation rather than the exception. It’s difficult to see continued cuts to the workforce while executive compensation remains high.
