Pros

The free on-line educational opportunities afforded to students is an absolute necessity for children that do not fit the brick and mortal educational model.

Cons

The Problem: THE CEO - He's Toxic He screams at executives in meetings (both virtual and in-person) He only speaks to his management team He manages by fear and is belittling The company has experienced very high turnover (Leadership-down) and he is the reason why.

Pros

The PTO policy is more generous than I am used to.

Cons

Oh, where to begin… The candidate and onboarding experience are not good, and once you join the team, things only get worse from there. Other members in my extended department who have been here for years make jokes about how mismanaged and ineffectual the company is. That does not inspire confidence as a new hire. My “training” consisted of my trainer asking me what I wanted to learn. Um…isn’t that your job? How do you not have a training manual when you have 8,000 some odd employees? The benefit offerings are terrible and not even a little bit competitive – they increased their 401k match this past year, but it’s still under 3%. The internal support from their "centers of excellence" is nonexistent - I've had help tickets open for over six weeks with no resolution. Their company culture is completely toxic and is causing me panic attacks on the regular; I'm trying to get out the door as fast as possible. Do not come work for this company.

Terrible management, especially CEO

Pros

The people who actually do the work are great!

Cons

- No company-wide strategy and roadmap. Shifting priorities and timeline very frequently, urgent works are on a weekly basis. - CEO asked employees for inputs but ended up putting the blame back on the employees without offering resolutions. Literally yelling at people during a town hall, borderline defensive, and abusive.
