Pros

None. None. None. None. None.

Cons

You will be used and promised great things. Don’t trust it. Just words that the “leadership” spins. They claim to care and then just lay off people. Sad place to be. Quietly backing away from DEI.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits.

Cons

Increasing lay-offs over recent years has everyone on edge. Company was a great place to work at one time but current management has made working at Guardian very unsettling. Company went from "people count" to counting people.

Not as stable as it used to be

Pros

The people are great to work with, and many struggle now with the new landscape.

Cons

A company that used to have a strong culture and work ethic, following the mantra of "People Count", applied to customers and colleagues equally; where previous leadership truly led by example, is now a company run by a team of very self-focused, hierarchical-minded individuals - a stark contrast to the organizational pillars. An environment that used to believe in the lifting up of others, has become one where those who wish to advance need only emulate the negative behaviors of top leadership. This new mindset has drastically impacted the organization and created an unhealthy, unstable, and stressful place of business.
