Watched them cut every possible benefit so they could reinstate ridiculous bonuses for top management.

Pros

They still offer a better than average vacation time. Customer service is BTB so customers are easy to work with.

Cons

Constant change, instability, extremely demanding standards, management expects workers to work OT to cover their lack of staffing, revolving door upper management always micromanaging and fishing for improved results with no real clue what they are doing or the true impact of their changes.

Pros

Company is great as far as benefits. They offer great insurance and they offer discounts for their product.

Cons

They will tell you there is opportunity for growth but in reality they only look at the color of your skin, I have applied for three different positions that I have showed and proved that I am competent on but they have told me that I am not and that I need more training. I have been disappointed several times.
