Don’t Bother

Pros

Good benefits and okay salary, but neither are worth the lack of job security, high stress and poor culture the company curates.

Cons

High stress, low career fulfillment. Management does a poor job at communicating goals and changes directions constantly. Good performance is not rewarded and small issues are the focus instead of the big picture. A lot of big promises and wasted effort when the ship changes direction, it’s extremely hard to be successful when they keep changing the desired goal. Too many managers and not enough do-era. Constant shifts in company structure also make it difficult for employees to find success and grow.

Pros

Solid benefits with 401(k), insurance, flexible schedules, unlimited PTO. Some truly great coworkers.

Cons

It's hard to put into words just how dramatically this company has fallen from their greatest highs. Where once there was a great focus on the customer and providing them guidance and value to reach their goals, the new view towards the customer is, and this is a direct quote from the Chief Digital Officer, "Forget about them, if they aren't giving us money I don't care about them." And that really should tell you all you need to know, but it gets so much worse. Executive management disregards any employee that disagrees with them, as the CDO is absolutely certain he's the smartest guy in the room, the levels of micromanagement are through the roof, the lack of respect or collaboration from leaders to their employees can't be explained, you would have to see it to believe it. The employee turnover rate is astronomical, even without the layoffs they just went through. The 5 dysfunctions of a team are in full display here, and no one in leadership seems to be aware or care. They are circling the drain, and it is painful to watch a once great company destroy itself through mismanagement.

Probably Not Smart To Take A Job Here

Pros

Decent benefits (were better when I started...they've been cut back) Nice people (I was always treated kindly) Probably well-intentioned

Cons

This isn't a very stable place. A year ago they hired A LOT of new people. Six months later they had mass layoffs, which included laying off many of the people they had just hired. Individuals who had relocated and/or left previous employers were suddenly left jobless. Over the past year, many in the company were jumping ship and taking jobs elsewhere. Those positions weren't backfilled (not a great sign). Even worse, the company kept job listings open, solicited applications, and even interviewed candidates. But they weren't necessarily hiring anyone. That's pretty disrespectful to qualified applicants who waste their time applying. It also suggests executives might not be sure where the company is supposed to be going. Hire, fire, hire, fire, interview, don't hire...yikes! The “management” aspect is bizarre. There are just soooo many managers…a ton of managers. After one of the seemingly perpetual reorganizations, my department had 13 people in it but 7 managers. What is that? Literally a manager who managed a manager who managed no-one. And, for all those managers, there’s not a whole lot of actual managing going on. No real discussions about career development, reviews (when they did happen) were mostly just box-checking, never witnessed a manager asking their team for ideas or feedback, etc. Pay is not great. They don't do an annual cost-of-living pay increase. No built-in structures to discuss raises. Even if you're a super star the chance of getting a raise is next to none. Bottom line…don’t leave your job to work here. Definitely DON'T RELOCATE! If you’re already in Boise, you just need a job, and you’re not super concerned with growing your career this would be an option.
