Pros

I wish I had something positive to say but I just can't.

Cons

What once made this company great is long gone. Jevin Sackett is the worst CEO this company has ever had, and the rest of the executive team is just as bad. It's all about the dollars and employees are replaceable, A lot of talent lost over the past few years. Pay/salary is poor and growth is non-existent. Jobs outsourced oversees or replaced by AI. Hard work, loyalty, work ethic... those things don't matter. Universal only cares about the all-mighty dollar.

Pros

There are good team members that make it semi pleasant to be at work.

Cons

Where do I start? Low pay, zero incentive to perform well (even if you do well there isn't any recognition). No upward growth opportunity, lots of favoritism, plenty of nepotism in the company. People get roles they have zero experience for or any business being in by sucking up. Continuous conflicting information shared from leaders and managment, making it hard to tell whether or not you're doing work correctly, then get your hand slapped for it when they decide to change the process last minute. If you like beige, bland cubicles and the occasional pizza party, then this work culture is for you.
