Pros

Work life balance, some decent people

Cons

Leadership and HR need to provide more stability and consistency. Constantly changing priorities, processes, and initiatives every month creates confusion, increases stress, and makes it difficult for employees to focus on meaningful work. Many of these initiatives conflict with one another, leaving employees feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted. The new compensation guidelines have further damaged morale. They create the perception that the company is trying to reduce headcount through a "quiet layoff" rather than investing in and retaining its employees. Whether intentional or not, this has significantly eroded trust in leadership. Additionally, not providing annual raises for employees who consistently meet expectations is deeply disrespectful, especially in today's economic climate. At a minimum, compensation should keep pace with inflation. Expecting employees to maintain strong performance while their purchasing power continues to decline sends the message that their work and contributions are not valued. Employees want to do great work, but that requires stability, transparency, and fair compensation. Investing in the people who keep the business running will do far more for engagement and retention than a constant cycle of new initiatives and cost-cutting measures
