Pros

Was a lovely company when it was INC with decent supportive managers.

Cons

Changes in the structure of the work and changing job descriptions with no consultation was not a good idea. Our department has been systematically destroyed with able, competent and supportive management dismissed, and incompetent bullies brought in who haven’t the basic understanding of the role, but who think speaking in acronyms and sending emails with graphs telling the department that dates are missing from spreadsheets will motivate the remaining few. One by one, good, experienced, high quality staff have either already left or are leaving. The department has haemorrhaged good quality staff and yet neither upper management nor HR has taken note. These micromanagers have no understanding and show no empathy towards others’ needs, feelings, etc. They are incapable of actively listening but continually interrupt when others are talking and will not see others’ point of view. People on the team doing the operational hands on work are a lovely, close-knit, high calibre team but are being overwhelmed by unmanageable workloads created by inept and incapable “managers” who can obviously prepare a good interview and speak the corporate speak, but who have no concern for quality, teamwork or co-operation.

Pros

Peers, some management styles, discretionary PTO,

Cons

No movement unless it benefits the company, period. Promotion approved and pending for several months is unacceptable. Loyalty means nothing. Good employees leaving all the time. Hiring of green employees at your same level. CEO asks for ideas yet zero support for needed changes. Mgmt takes credit for your skill/knowledge/resolutions. Zero bonus, zero spotlight points, zero sense of performance appraisal process bc it does nothing. Create your own comraderie bc it’s every dept for himself.

Pros

Unlimited PTO when you have time to take off.

Cons

Another year with no bonuses despite the fact that our CEO told investors on the last earnings call that the bonus pool would be funded. Great for retention in a company that can barely retain employees. But, our leadership team of 150 people took had a nice week in West Palm Beach in January on a leadership summit where they had the finest meals with open bars all 4 days. Why not have the summit in the underutilized Raleigh HQ instead of spending money we clearly do not have?! We have been expected to do more than less for the last 3 years and our bonuses have never been fully funded. Absolute definition of poor leadership.
