Pros

The people here are wonderful.

Cons

The leadership team saw they could save money by moving us from Slack to Teams. I'm sure this looks great on a financial statement but in practice this transition has been a disaster. Slack was not just a messaging platform for us. Slack held crucial information going back a decade, a portion of which cannot be migrated over to Teams. This vendor who said they'd move stuff obviously overpromised and underdelivered. Since moving to teams all of our jobs have gotten harder. Slack was a core part of this companys cultural identity and it was ripped away to save a couple bucks while it was replaced with an inferior platform. A lot of people across departments feel this way but nobody wants to speak up because the job market is what it is. I am challenging leadership to send out a company wide anonymous survey on this topic. Central Reach has no problem sending out surveys when an award is on the line. I want to see the same thing here.

Hi There. As a follow up to the email our COO sent late yesterday, I wanted to acknowledge your frustration and apologize for any disruption the transition from Slack to Teams has caused you and the rest of the CentralReach team. The intent behind the transition was to improve collaboration and streamline communication under one integrated platform. As you are aware, we are working to resolve any outstanding issues and I encourage you to speak with your manager or our COO directly about any missing data that is impacting your productivity during the day.

Pros

Amazing Culture Management is top tier

Cons

Benefits are good, but kind of weird since it Aetna's network via a third-party company named Allied. When it works, awesome, when it doesn't, it's a pain.
