Pros

Not many anymore. Good Benefits

Cons

I am waiting for someone to die on the job in order for them to make changes to the field. They are one of the lowest paying companies in the industry. The boys/girls club still exits here. If your not liked you will never move up. No matter how good of a job you do. If your with the company over 20 years you're now a liability, Even though when the lose the next person, Who do they ask to pick up the pieces? The old timers! Or as one manager put it ( The Dinosaurs) The salary cap is in place for anyone below midlevel management. They have you buy and sell your business constantly going after your base salary! An inclusive company, Not a chance. I've been attacked many a time for pointing out problems. Your not allowed to discuss any of this! As I was told once. I was lucky I wasn't FIRED for pointing out things that are detrimental to employees. They have councils for everything else in the company Except for an Employee council for the rights of the employees. For such an Inclusive company, why not? Oh and we really need to revue the training for new people. The trainers in the field are people that were never trained right themselves. More service training is needed. One field trainer per area. As it is I will probably be fired for this post, from the Inclusive company.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
