Pros

Dedicated employees, summer Friday policy at corporate (half day Friday from Memorial to Labor Day), you can always blame someone else, some of the HR Leadership team is really good and competent.

Cons

In the HR organization you can always blame someone else, there is a lack of accountability by some senior HR leaders, CVP of HR makes decisions by consensus and does not take a hard line without some support from another part of the leadership team.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
