What Work/Life Balance?

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Pros

Good Salaries and good benefits, stable company.

Cons

"Stepford Wife' management style; tendency to hire 'like" employees, little diversity in thought, look, or life experience. Unreasonable expectations given the so-called commitment to work/life balance. There is no balance. Long hours are the norm at most levels. Little trust of management or the processes in place to make change or voice concern

Pros

Compensation is fair and benefits are above average. Good variable compensation. Colleagues are knowledgeable . Teamwork is the norm at least in the lower ranks.

Cons

Diversity is more important than competence. Local HR is good but corporate HR is beyond a problem. Constant reorganizations have had an increasing demoralizing effect.
