Pros

-great place if you are starting off your career or looking to ride steady to retirement -holiday bonus -they made #378 on forbe's list of best midsize employers -great work/life balance

Cons

-benefits and 401k were nothing special -slow with change -hadn't received a company bonus since 2015 -a lot of people have been there forever, including executives -supervisors are treated like rest of staff (hardly any decision making) -limited parking spots -offices are very old school with dark green carpet -wifi only available in break areas, which shows low trust in employees -will most likely only get promoted if someone retires (good luck with that; people stay past retirement age because they get away with doing nothing)

Pros

I worked with several talented people and had positive interactions with multiple business stakeholders. The company has strong brand recognition, meaningful business lines, and some leaders who genuinely value recruiting partnership.

Cons

My experience in Talent Acquisition became increasingly difficult because the management style I experienced felt highly controlling, punitive, and focused more on scrutiny than coaching, workload calibration, or clear success metrics. In my opinion, the environment became one where a manager’s narrative could outweigh production, stakeholder feedback, and the actual complexity of the workload. I raised concerns through internal channels and later experienced increased scrutiny, formal performance action, and ultimately termination with what I viewed as a vague and incomplete explanation. From my perspective, the process lacked fairness, transparency, and meaningful opportunity to address concerns through objective measures. I would caution candidates and employees to pay close attention to the specific leadership chain they would report into, not just the broader company reputation. Advice to Management: Ensure performance concerns are handled with clear metrics, documented coaching, balanced stakeholder input, and genuine review of workload realities. A company’s employment brand is affected not only by candidate experience, but also by how internal employees are treated when they raise concerns.
