Pros
It is good that the company replaced HR leadership that was in place for many years. Hopefully their replacements are good for the management and especially the employees.
Cons
The former HR leadership was not helpful or supportive of the employees. Within the first week of working there I was advised to keep distance. From HR management as they would use you for their own career motives and of no use to solve problems. Having heard this second hand, it was best to gain direct experience and form my own opinion. Not only were they accurate, it was much worse then described. They said they didn't want to discourage me so soon! Overall employees had low morale due to this and the fact that many employees were driven out, or some left on their own. Current employees kept their head's down and were on edge that may be next on the HR hit list.
