Pros

The company culture at the corporate level has historically been strong. Compensation is about average for the industry and the benefits package is solid. As a remote employee, I’ve been fortunate to work with a great team and supportive direct leaders who care about doing good work.

Cons

Recently, new leadership initiatives have begun shifting the direction of the company. For example, there appears to be a heavy focus on automation and AI investments into my sector of the business, which has created uncertainty for many roles that do not require specialized technical skills or executive leadership experience. Many long-tenured leaders who helped shape the culture have been with the company for 10+ years, but it is unclear if that same level of stability will exist going forward. There has also been a push from HR for employees near a home office to return to hybrid or in-office work. Most newly posted roles now require proximity to a home office, with very few fully remote positions available. This can limit internal mobility for existing remote employees, even when their experience aligns well with the role requirements. Additionally, internal compensation policies appear to favor external hires in some situations. Internal transfers often retain similar compensation unless the move is classified as a formal promotion, which can discourage internal career growth. Overall, policies and structural decisions sometimes feel prioritized over retaining experienced internal talent.

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
