Pros

Many talented and kind people still work here and truly care about doing the right thing. The company used to have a strong culture built on connection and hospitality, and some of that spirit still exists at the individual level.

Cons

Since the new CEO stepped in, the environment has taken a noticeable turn for the worse. The recent layoffs and restructuring have created widespread uncertainty and instability across teams. The company also brought in McKinsey Consulting, a clear signal of more cost-cutting to come. Over time, benefits have been watered down, and it’s disappointing that there’s still no paid maternity leave offered. Leadership communication is minimal, transparency is nearly nonexistent, and the sense of connection that once defined the culture has been lost. Promotions rarely happen unless a manager personally advocates for you, and there’s no clear career path or development plan for most roles. The organization feels increasingly corporate, numbers-driven (which is what happens when a CFO is promoted to CEO), and detached from its people, and performance has reflected that. Overall results have been weak, and bonus payouts (and their stock) have suffered as a result.

Pros

Bebefits like medical were good.

Cons

During my employment as a Quality Assurance employee, I experienced clear unequal treatment compared to colleagues in the same position. Westbound QA employees were not required to clock in and out for lunch, while Eastbound QA employees like myself were required to do so — despite holding identical job classifications. As an hourly employee, this meant I was regularly working unpaid time during mandatory "break" periods. This was not a minor oversight — it was a policy applied unequally between teams. When I raised this concern directly to my manager, instead of acknowledging the legitimate issue, my manager responded by threatening to file an internal HR complaint against me — claiming I had raised my voice in a customer area. I did not raise my voice. Rather than addressing the problem, my manager used this as an opportunity to discourage me from speaking up further. This entire conversation was recorded with my manager's full knowledge and consent. Additionally, a senior manager in my department consistently declined notarization requests from the sales team, redirecting all notary work to me despite being equally qualified. When I was finally given authorization by the Director to take my 30-minute break, I returned to find 7 notarization documents piled on my desk — the senior manager had declined to handle them during my authorized absence.
