Pros

Management is open to suggestions from employees and are approachable. Training opportunities to gain additional skill sets has been a focus over the last few years, due to employee feedback. Training is offered via various methods including virtual. Employee benefits have improved over the last several years.

Cons

Low paying salaries and nominal raises. Salaries are still not competitive in the marketplace Very limited growth and limited chances for advancement unless you are a friend with manager, a lot of favoritism. Most people that leave the company leave due to low pay, nominal raises, lak of advancement opportunities and frustrations over seeing people that are promoted in many cases due to friendships with managers. Many jobs going oversees and sourced out to consulting companies.

Pros

Competitive pay — Compensation is solid compared to industry averages. • Pockets of good people — There are teams with genuinely decent, hardworking individuals trying to do the right thing. • Occasional bright spots — A few groups operate professionally despite the broader culture.

Cons

Retaliation everywhere — Speak up and you’re targeted. • Fabricated reviews — Feedback is made up to justify punishment. • Toxic cliques — Closed circles run the place and crush anyone outside them. • Hostile leadership — Belittling and aggression are normalized. • Politics over skill — Competence is irrelevant; alliances decide everything. • Fear‑driven culture — Employees stay silent because retaliation is guaranteed. • Hypocrisy everywhere — You’re excluded, then blamed for not being involved. • Values are a façade — The company talks integrity but operates on intimidation.
