Pros

Solid healthcare, PTO, and retirement match. Meaningful work that can make a real difference for military families.

Cons

The new hybrid policy change (from 2 days to 3 days in office) feels disconnected from how the work is actually done. Many teams collaborate seamlessly remotely, yet leadership insists on a blanket mandate that doesn’t reflect role needs or performance. The policy was rolled out with little transparency or empathy. Morale has dropped significantly. Many high performers are frustrated, especially those with long commutes, caregiving responsibilities, or who were hired under different expectations. Leadership admitted productivity and collaboration are fine and theres no logical reason they are doing this. Leadership communication often emphasizes “culture” and “connection” without addressing real data or employee feedback.

Pros

In my tenure I had wonderful people I met who had a great impact on my life.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations, lack of planning and change management, no work-life balance, destroyed my mental health and had a severe negative impact on my family life and overall well being, accommodations denied, FMLA was a nightmare- I was hounded the entire time when I would return. Also an emergency that was life threatening and was expected to continue to report daily after clearly outlining the details and severity of the situation. Lack of empathy from upper management, thankful my direct leadership had a soul . Total opposite of the place I was so proud to work for and the culture that Mr. Dawson built has almost been fundamentally torn apart piece by piece. Multiple requests to voluntarily step down. I’ve seen another review from the department of people having severe mental distress issues and this is an ongoing issue that has been silently known about since at least 2018 and nothing has really been done. The pressure just keeps adding on instead. A lot of talk, but it’s fluff. Then when finally the impact takes its toll and an employee performance starts to show the struggles, they’re placed on a PIP & basically playing Russian roulette to keep your livelihood. Maybe member experience would be better if employees were actually cared for and not disregarded. And when you are strong willed and try to improve and won’t quit, they will find a way to throw you to the curb after you’ve devoted years of loyalty, integrity, awards, and exceeding performances. Please save the “we are sorry and this does not reflect our blah blah” auto reply. It’s insulting.
