Pros

Work from home opportunity is great

Cons

Human resource needs to step in and DO THEIR JOB. Why am I being asked to complete strength finders and waste more time on completing something that is NOT HELPING ME from having to work 13-hour days while an executive admin just sits with ONE LEADER planning lunch parties and useless activities? and now a new admin manager has the audacity to ask for a donation for a gift card for an admin manager who does not know how to plan, so we are being asked to donate over four hundred dollars to help for lack of THEIR planning when they have a higher salary than a Sr. Admin? This is OUTRAGEOUS and can not be ethical. If you want to work in the most unorganized admin team, with EAs that have no idea how to manage, with admin managers who have no idea what they are doing, this is the place for you!

Pros

Pre-2023, excellent culture and team environment, strong compensation and bonuses, and generous budgets that supported employees well.

Cons

Since the 2023 bankruptcy, the company has struggled to regain its identity. There has been significant turnover in senior leadership, and much of the experienced management team has departed. This has led to inconsistent direction, frequent misalignment between leadership messaging and execution, and a noticeable decline in employee confidence. Compensation, bonuses, and career progression opportunities have become less competitive, and overall employee support has diminished. The organization now feels more like a rebranded extension of First Citizens rather than the distinct institution it once was. There is also an over-layering of management, with too many overlapping roles and unclear accountability, which slows decision-making and creates unnecessary complexity. Finally, the company has lost much of its competitive edge post-2023, with ongoing client attrition and reputational challenges that employees are left to address without clear strategic direction.
