Horrible Senior Management

Pros

People go in wanting to bring new ideas and work hard. Somewhat fun environment, depending on what department you are in.

Cons

People eave having not changed anything, or learned anything new. Senior management will say they want change but they want job security so the slowest hardest longest mundane ways of doing things grants them their job security. HR department allows management to have power trips over lower level employees without intervening or finding them liable. Finance department is the worst I have ever seen in any company and that's due to primarily to the senior management. Also no room for promotions again due to senior management. I have heard many stories in my time there from other departments on how downhill the Finance department has gone in the past few years.

Pros

The benefits are pretty good (used to be better) and a lot of the people on the working level are really good people. The office is casual and depending on your supervisor, you can have some flexibility in your day-to-day. The employee resource groups are also really wonderful. Those people truly care about their fellow colleagues.

Cons

They just dialed back the insurance, so now our premiums cost more and we have to pay more out of pocket for things we never had to pay anything for in the past. They also recently mandated that we have to go back to the office 4 days a week beginning in September. We were previously in the office 3 days a week. Year over year salary increases have not tracked with inflation and now with the additional commuting costs and the additional insurance costs, all of our salaries have gone backwards. Everyone was already behind because of salary increases not tracking with inflation. The messaging regarding working from home was said in such a way where it was clear the company did not care at all about the employees, they just want us where they can see us. It feels very controlling. The company is also very top-heavy.

Pros

The perks are great - you get cool access to some great events. Healthcare is also very inexpensive. Everyone (for the most part) loves the game and loves talking hockey all day.

Cons

You're either there for life or for a short amount of time. There seems to be either quick turnover or people who've been there forever. It's not as glamorous as one would think but it's still a nice place to work.
