Pros

There are none.... STAY AWAY!!!

Cons

HR is on a protected island and they absolutely refuse to speak to anyone about anything. They use an automated system. Any attempt to contact HR results in being forwarded to an automated system. This company is complete and total trash. STAY AWAY FOREVER!!!!! DO NOT APPLY!!!!

Pros

Beautiful building in downtown Nashville with parking and 401(k) matching and vesting after 3 years of service. Talented employees that take pride in their work.

Cons

The organization has no succession planning and promotes internally based on who you know rather than what you accomplish. Field environment is filled with ethical integrity issues that are not properly addressed or rectified after notifying multiple parties. The current leadership team has pushed out many talented employees in the last 3 years, which appears to be creating an environment where employees feel undervalued and lack trust in leadership. The organization lacks a proper work/life balance for employees and does not understand the importance of process and structure. Employees that are promoted are thrown into roles without any training, support, etc. which creates challenges in a fast paced environment where positive impacts are expected in a timely manner.

Pros

Willing to pay to get talent but comes at a price later

Cons

Top heavy organization... Several instances of people with no work to do for several months , while others are overloaded to breaking point. More chiefs than Indians, lots and lots of directors, even directors under other directors, asinine. Few to no increases, always crunching budget down too the point of causing function suffering and failures,, do as I say not as I do leadership, unable to allow managers to lead and make decisions, micro manage ever single thing
