Pros

Good benefits, pension. If you’re single (no family responsibilities) and can dedicate countless hours to your job, this is the place for you.

Cons

Turn over on senior leadership is very high, every 2-3 years full change in leadership, which means a reset every time making it difficult to advance unless you’re in the clique (which also exists in senior level, mostly led by current GM) Highest politics I’ve ever seen in an organization. They will use every ounce of energy out of you, and when you’re too tired to do more, you will get phased out or replaced. Ruthless approach to people. HR is useless and self serving. My career was great, when I spent 60 hours per week at work, the moment I had a family and couldn’t work those hours, it went downhill, no action about the workload, by anyone, despite multiple efforts. Lots of people off work on stress leave, company has a reputation for terminating those who use this benefit. Don’t sideline your career here!

Pros

Coworkers were very nice and helpful. Learned a lot about animals. Great PTO. Was about to take off when needed.

Cons

Loved working here at first, but then I felt like a machine. I understand KPIs and metrics, but repeating the same thing multiple times a day quickly tires you out. Having your calls listened to can feel pressuring and invasive, though I understand why it is done. Micromanaging by a new manager with no prior experience at the company made things worse. My previous manager was hands-off because he trusted his staff and their monthly reports; it wasn't necessary to hover over us. I had great KPIs and scores, but with my new manager, the goalposts were always moving, and it was never good enough. It was frustrating. I enjoyed everyone on my team, but, as always, it's the manager who overwhelms you for no reason and pushes you away. Throwing in how much the company has made during our quarterly meetings were kind of a slap in the face. Raises need to be a priority, this is a multimillion dollar company.
