Super siloed and lack of trust between departments

Anonymous employee

Pros

Compensation and benefits were good, and they improved to match with other local businesses when employees spoke up about it.

Cons

Every department is siloed. Cross-departmental collaboration is like pulling teeth. Lots of unnecessary drama and gossip. Hardest workers go unrecognized.

We appreciate your feedback. Over the last few years there have been changes to our leadership team, but our values (especially Respect and Teamwork) have not changed. We always encourage employees to say something if they experience a situation that is not consistent with our values. While there are many things we do well, we know we can always improve.
