Post merger, downhill slump

Pros

If you are lucky enough to have a manger with leadership skills it is a good place to work. They are likely to provide an umbrella to keep you from seeing too much of the bad management going on around you. Comfortable work attire. Jeans allowed every day.

Cons

One of the companies merged to create this one, lost benefits without warning. Lots of work in a vacuum, you just suddenly can no longer do what you did yesterday. Some really bad management style, if you don't like someone treat them very poorly so they will quit. Especially the ones protected by certain agreements. Complete lack of transparency. Org chart changes overnight without any announcements. Managers failing to budget for FTE so those employees have to find their own funding sources to bill to. Work life balance is being eroded. The vision statement is written to be the best place to work only for those employees they need/want. There is a distinct lack of vision. There is a statement but nothing is tied back to it. Very reactive instead of proactive. Managers in many areas micromanage the minutiae and fail to do their management jobs. Work is silo'd to the point that every one just checks their box & refuses to ask questions. If they do it is bad for them. Managers name calling.

discrimination against union employees

Pros

I can afford to eat

Cons

New leadership since 2020 discriminates the union employees and ceo loves to brag about record profits while trying to cut salary and benefits from union employees. Morale at an all time low.

Pros

Still a lot of good people. Compensation and benefits was competitive, but has degraded after years of merit increases that have not kept pace with inflation and other companies.

Cons

New leadership only cares about numbers and their goal appears to be to sell the company. Many unethical decisions in recent years as well, including intentionally deceiving regulators. Years of cost cutting and lack of growth make it difficult to accomplish anything worthwhile. The recent mass exodus of senior employees has left remaining employees with a much larger burden to carry.
