Pros

There used to be a lot but not anymore

Cons

Company used to preach a work life balance and employee engagement, but that has been eliminated. The department is now run like a dictatorship. The micro management is completely overwhelming!!!!! If you don't respond to an email within 30 seconds your phone and internal communication tool will start ringing. The amount of stress thrust on staff due to inadequate personnel is also mind boggling. More recently older staff were 'laid off " while younger staff were relocated to a new corporate office on the East Coast. You are expected to do the job of 3 people and not complain. If you speak up you will be fired. No wonder a majority of staff is actively seeking new employment.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
