Pros

decent comp. lots of social events to make up for the crap work environement

Cons

Hyper - political Old Boys Network - "if you ain't in the in...you ain't gettin in" (no respect for women or diversity) Management ranks are poor except for a select few They talk a lot of game in the diversity, work life and equality areas but have no intention of delivering Static business model.......unable to game change their business - no real thought leaders there!

Pros

Decent Salary, Benefits, Most of the team was good to work with.

Cons

Advancement tied to internal alliances rather than merit: Career growth often seems influenced more by aligning with specific internal groups or personalities than by demonstrated performance. This creates an atmosphere where favoritism can overshadow objective evaluation, making it difficult for employees who prefer to focus on delivering quality work rather than navigating internal politics. Unprofessional behavior inadvertently rewarded: The culture can sometimes reinforce behaviors that are unprofessional or counterproductive. Individuals who are more aggressive or disruptive may receive attention or influence, while those who prioritize collaboration, respect, and consistent performance often see far less recognition. This dynamic can erode team morale and contribute to a sense of inequity. Inconsistent and unclear leadership communication: Direction from leadership is often fragmented or shifts without clear explanation, leaving teams unsure about priorities, responsibilities, and long-term goals. This lack of clarity can lead to rework, misalignment across departments, and a general feeling of instability, making it difficult to plan or perform effectively.
