Pros

Great company- each department is different Benefits Decent pay Nice campus with parking (but will be gone soon with the move to downtown DC)

Cons

Supervisors and manager do absolutely nothing. The director is a complete (fill in the blank). Difficult to work in a team environment. Everyone gossips like it's HS. Promotions and pay increases are given to unqualified candidates. Retention rate is low so the team is never stable Morale is low Metrics driven so be prepared to be micromanaged to where you can't even leave your desk to use the bathroom. Pointless daily morning huddle meetings at 8:30AM to make sure you are on time (another measure of micromanaging) VERY political. They hire only their referrals. Join the team and you'll see what I mean. 5% Merit increases are only given to favorites. Work from home is only Tuesday and Thursday. And there is no flexibility to change so it can help your life outside of work. CALL CENTER ENVIRONMENT Only way to receive promotion is when someone takes another position to another department.

Pros

I had thought I’d stay there until retirement. Pay was pretty good and while upward mobility was limited there was an open environment for learning and getting involved in new things. The company was socially conscious with volunteer time available. Flex schedules were available with manager approval and that helped us effectively implement work from home in 2020. We did work a lot of long hours to get projects done but the work seemed to be appreciated and rewarded.

Cons

For a company that had been highly profitable, Bill Pulte came in and started demanding changes for the company to be run more like one on the verge of bankruptcy. Managers were forced to spend significant time managing attendance and schedules and constantly justifying staffing just to have that ignored anyway. Anybody below a Director was cut completely out of these decisions meaning managers would show up to meetings to find the no-shows had been let go with no warning. You just started to see on people’s faces they were miserable, many long time associates quietly hoping they’d be included in the next round of cuts. It’s too bad, a company I had thought I’d retire with really just became toxic.
