Pros

Nice people who seem to truly care about each other. I find people who are engaged in their work

Cons

Not the culture it once was. Questioning whether sub-par pay is worth the "lifestyle" as it is not nearly as attractive as described prior to being hired. Different groups have different hours/expectations/responsibilities for same pay

Pros

The company has provided a great opportunity to grow HR expertise in change management, talent development and org strategy.

Cons

Senior leaders need to drive change but there is no real action underway that gives confidence we will win. Few advancement opportunities will be available near term due to recent cuts, which is not motivating.

Pros

As a company and what they do and stand for, they are great

Cons

Being a superstar at your job will not get your promoted or recognized. That is not right.....
