Pros

Great benefits, some nice people, quiet, had been friendly for the most part. Pay is decent but needs to give raises more. Lots of vacation time if you stick around. I've worked in multiple departments which is a nice option.

Cons

Poor communication, people are scared to speak up. Low morale lately. Positive for several years until new management was hired. Good ole boys club and surprisingly sexist. Bad communications and resistant to change. Monthly expense report approval takes too long because management ignores our requests. I was able to find better job but this one was okay to get by.

Pros

Coworkers are pleasant to work with.

Cons

Management is severely lacking in day to day job functions of their staff, they target anyone they do not like regardless of that person’s job performance. Managers are out of touch with what their staff is doing and they pick favorites. HR supports this behavior and will railroad you right out the door while destroying your mental health. Senior HR members see nothing wrong with targeting staff members based on who they “like”, and they lie to your face when you challenge it. Working 12+ hour days is necessary to keep up with the workload they put on you.
