Pros

This used to be a place people genuinely enjoyed working. There was a time when employees felt supported, fairly compensated, and motivated to contribute. Unfortunately, over time, upper management has stripped away nearly everything that made this company a positive environment. Benefits that once helped employees feel secure have been reduced or eliminated. Pay raises that used to reward hard work and loyalty have either disappeared or become so minimal they feel meaningless. It’s clear that cost-cutting has taken priority over employee well-being, and the impact on morale is impossible to ignore. What’s most frustrating is the lack of transparency and accountability from leadership. Changes are made with little explanation, and there’s no real effort to address concerns or acknowledge how these decisions affect the workforce. Employees who have dedicated years to the company are left feeling undervalued and expendable.

Cons

Working here has been an overwhelmingly negative experience, and it’s difficult to find meaningful positives to balance the many issues. From day one, it became clear that management lacks both professionalism and basic respect for employees. Decisions are often made with little transparency, and favoritism seems to play a larger role than performance or merit. Communication is inconsistent at best—important information is either delivered last-minute or not at all, leaving employees set up to fail. Human Resources, which should act as a support system, unfortunately does the opposite. Concerns raised are frequently dismissed or ignored, and there is little to no sense of confidentiality or genuine care. Instead of advocating for employees, HR appears to prioritize protecting management, even when legitimate issues are brought forward. This creates an environment where people feel unheard and undervalued. Work-life balance is another major problem. Expectations are unrealistic, and there is constant pressure without adequate support or recognition. Effort and dedication go unnoticed, while criticism is quick and often unwarranted. Morale is extremely low, and turnover is high—which comes as no surprise given the overall culture. In short, this is not a workplace where employees are respected, supported, or given the opportunity to grow. Significant changes in leadership approach and HR practices would be necessary to make this a tolerable environment.

Pros

Majority of leadership and employees care deeply about each other and doing the right thing by customers.

Cons

Many people have been with the company 20-30years - while great, gaining their buy-in for needed change is difficult and slow.

Pros

The company values that corporate has put down on paper look/sound nice.

Cons

-Struggling financially -Benefits were drastically cut down over last 3 years in attempt to slow bleeding -No 401k matching, and ESOP share value in decline -Little to no accountability/oversight on senior management, and a high concentration of dishonest/morally bankrupt individuals within senior management -little to no room for advancement -Spiraling, as the employees that made this company great have either left or been pushed out. Coupled with a huge reliance on tribal knowledge, the majority of employees are now new, leading to increasing customer confusion/dissatisfaction due to the noticeable drop in service/quality. -Pay is not competitive -Frequently losing/settling lawsuits due to the way HR/management treats employees -Many locations closed/closing
