Pros

Nice work environment and the building security team and maintenance crew are top-notch and second to none. On bonus distribution everyone gets a hearty handshake from the officers…and a donut.

Cons

Nepotism doesn't run through this company - it gallops. The company has digressed from a company that looks for ways to say yes to a company that looks for ways to say no - especially in regards to their employees. The company bases the yearly bonus on performance in relation to ten peer companies. So even if the company really hits it out of the park, if the peers do just a bit better there could be very little or no bonus. The officers are captains of the ship. If they tell the crew to go to a specific island and the crew gets the ship to that island, if it turns out to be the wrong island everyone suffers from the officers decision to go to that island. The company cuts costs at the employees expense at every opportunity but still uses tablecloths for the officers' monthly luncheon and in this day of videoconferencing still holds an August meeting (which brings in field workers and their spouses for a day and a half of...well I am not sure what).

Pros

I love my territory, my direct manager, and my team. I enjoy my coworkers. The lunch stipend is nice. I’ve had a lot of really great mentors during my time. The company had given me some good opportunities including free continuing education and career advancement.

Cons

The pay has been lower than the industry standard. The benefits are decent in the long term, but the raises for those growing within the company are almost insulting. Any attempts to negotiate are shut down. Bonuses have also been on the low end, although I recognize they aren’t a given. Paid time off is also somewhat limited with slow increases every 5 years. Upper management has changed and I don’t feel it’s been positive. There has been low morale and high turnover. Starting pay has remained stagnant despite increased demands of returning to office which I feel contributes to staffing difficulties. Cost of gas, car maintenance, and work attire have now cut into wages. The company felt like it cared about its staff when I started, but I have begun to feel like a cog in the corporate wheel. Corners are being cut in the name of “efficiency,” however the foundational flaws haven’t been addressed.
