Pros

It is a safe company to work for. They dont take risks and do anything to avoid losses. Employees dont feel empowered and their hiring practices are very questionable.

Cons

The culture is so 1970's! They rely on a couple of hot shots to deliver without concentrating on the rest of the team. The company does not pay well to entry level employees or non MBAs. There are hardly any support groups within the company and HR is absolutely horrible. A good example would be that they JUST established a HR diversity team!

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.
