Pros

Decent wages and bonuses Decent benefits

Cons

They have no understanding of diversity. They have one woman of color on the executive board who just made that position. They lack any understanding of what the word diversity means, if you read about this department, all it mentions is inclusion.... inclusion has NOTHING to do with diversity. The picture they provided of "diversity" is such a misreprestation from what Mankato and Owatonna look like. Federated has a big push for the word "networking", which really means this is the only way you are going to get promoted. People who should have gotten promoted because they know their job duties have been overlooked because they didn't meet Federateds outdated guidelines.  Then you have people who have worked there for so many years and get away with treating you like crap. Management won't do anything about it but turn a blind eye because seniority stands firm. They gloat about how the profits they have been made and forget the people who had to work crazy hours to reach these goals. The want to show appreciation through pizza parties then demand more work. The workplace is toxic which in turn is making the people that work there toxic. Federated has stated they do not allow working from home, but that differs from lead to lead, and you can see favoritism. Along with the fact supervisors can freely work from home under their own discretion Absolutely no such thing as work/life balance.

Pros

Hands down, the best employment culture of any company I’ve worked for in my 25+ years practicing law. Federated is a true rarity - a company that genuinely lives its corporate values every day, in decisions both large and small. Leadership listens to employees with curiosity and a willingness to improve, not defensiveness or indifference. There’s a common refrain that if a company takes care of its employees, those employees will, in turn, take care of customers. I’ve never seen that philosophy embraced or executed as successfully as it is at Federated. Success is recognized and rewarded, teamwork - or “interdependence,” as we call it - is the norm, and challenges or setbacks are treated as opportunities for constructive feedback and growth. And that’s before even mentioning the outstanding compensation and benefits. I recommend Federated wholeheartedly and without reservation to friends and family.

Cons

Business formal dress code for more senior positions may be a bit antiquated.
