Toxic Leadership. Zero Transparency, No Regard for Employees

Pros

good people, used to be good culture too...

Cons

The current President of the Workforce Solutions business unit is only focused on one side of the business. As a result, changes are being made with no regard to half of the employees. The first thing this president did when he took over was add several additional layers of management, so any hope of front line employees (account managers, sales, operations) having their voices heard is near impossible. Or worse, when they are heard, they're simply ignored. It's really a shame, because the new CEO seems great, but this company is so big the CEO doesn't have that much of an impact on the day to day...that comes down to the business president and his direct reports (SVPs). As if things weren't bad enough after the breach, upper management decided one month after the breach would be a good time to lay off half the account managers, leaving major accounts with no contact person for up to 6 months in some cases. Now us current account managers are left to clean up the mess. Sales plans, books of business, quota, and bonus plans are consistently delivered late and even change mid year sometimes, costing employees thousands of dollars. As a result, but not surprisingly, this year we half lost our best sales people across every sales team. This business unit is slowly crumbling from the inside out, and unfortunately by the time someone finally listens and does something about it at the top, it's going to be too late.

Horrible

Pros

Jeans on Fridays and pay.

Cons

I can only give my opinion to their Workforce Solutions division in St. Louis. I guess they have to come up with something like good pay and casual Fridays because their culture and leadership are horrible. Very high stress, very much of a "fear-based" culture, very out-dated type of leadership (think 1980s), poor communication, no team-work. They think by changing their workplace environment to an open floor plan that it will fix everything. The truth is, like most companies out there, this plan DOES NOT make for better collaboration (Google this). All they care about is how many workers they can cram into the building. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Worst place I've ever worked at.

Pros

Work life balance in my department (although many departments outside my group do not have any balance) Salary is market competitive when hired, but company fails to keep up with market as years go on Work is interesting Allows some people to work remotely

Cons

New CEO Lack of sustained market increases Lack of competitive equity / RSU grants at management levels Culture and atmosphere are currently fairly toxic and depressing
