Pros

- The people I work with (colleagues) - The mission of the company (taking care of military and their family)

Cons

- Split personality - wants to be a small company while competing with big competition. This split causes friction and overall disfunction for our people, process, and technology choices. - Toxic culture of fear and contradiction. My colleagues and I consistently talk about the company we used to work for. Many of us seek therapy/help for how work makes us feel about ourselves (sad, angry). - Benefits continue to be cut while company pays for lavish events and new real estate. - Strong mission becomes an excuse for undervaluing employees. - Senior leaders not in tune with employee needs or requests. - Passive aggressive employee communications - claim employees are heard with little action to change. - Minimal investment in professional development and career progression. - CEO is narcissistic. Sets the tone at the top.

Pros

Life work balance, great benefit package and nice colleagues. The goal of the company is providing the best service to its members. So, they treat employees the best to encourage them to do the same for members.

Cons

Slow IT support, limited interactions with industry. Banking business is not as mature as insurance.
