Pros

There was an opportunity for growth before. Not any longer.

Cons

I worked at this company for over eight years, experiencing professional growth and advancement. However, significant changes occurred after the construction of the new Rio building. Previously, there was a stronger emphasis on values over profit, but financial priorities shifted over time. Massive layoffs followed a costly rebranding effort that was not effectively implemented across the business, resulting in two internal names due to licensing issues. Despite being told at every town hall that the company had a successful quarter, layoffs were followed by large-scale rehiring events, creating a repetitive cycle. Internally, systems are disorganized, with frequent changes to software subscriptions without proper testing, leading to constant transitions. Raises are capped at 3% due to financial mismanagement. Bonus trackers are inconsistently implemented, appearing one month, disappearing the next, and then being replaced or forgotten. Work expectations are inconsistent, with layoffs causing critical tasks to fall through the cracks. Employees are often required to take on additional responsibilities without adequate training or guidance. There is an excessive number of Zoom meetings, sometimes totaling over five hours per week with the same individuals, often revisiting the same unresolved issues.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
