Don't believe the hype

Pros

Some really great people, great opportunities for peer-to-peer collaboration. Good benefits, one of the few that offers full tuition reimbursement and a pension.

Cons

Unstable, high turnover. Their multitude of open positions don't come from growth but rather from people being summarily fired for rubbing someone in management the wrong way. Take a look at the publicly available financial information and you'll see the company hasn't experienced growth for a long time. They talk about the fabulous culture in words only but don't act it.

Middle Management is the problem...

Pros

1) The "image" of a caring company that is focused on people. 2) Decent benefits 3) Decent Salary 4) Customers seem to like the company 5) Once a year, your "Opinion" is valued (Culture Survey)

Cons

1) Managers are hired based not on ability but on how much they are "liked" or who they know. 2) Managers spend a ridiculous amount of time in meeting/calls and have little clue on what goes on in their functional areas. 3) All associates should be treated with high regard, not just the front line associates in Care Center. 4) Intelligence and ability is a liability, ESPECIALLY for minorities. 5) Under representation of minorities in leadership. 6) If you are not a "yes" person, then your career is over! 7) Kissing butt is more valuable than actual ability. 8) The concept of The Dynamic Organization is used as a weapon to threaten people with. "You're not a good fit for the D.O."

Pros

Pay and benefits excellent in compared to other jobs in the area. Training and yearly meeting was fun It was great the first couple years

Cons

Their expectations of employees are way to high. They want perfection all the time. Stressful work environment People get fired for little mistakes, or if you dare speak up about any concerns. They claim there are advancement opportunities, but when you try for them you are blocked unless you go the path they want you to.
