Pros

- Work/life balance used to be good... the current management is putting an end to that. - The best people used to work there. There are still a few left. - Insurance wasn’t bad.

Cons

- Awful leadership. If you like getting yelled at and threatened, then you’ll be okay. Also, management should know what their employees work on. Some are expected to lead technology teams and make decisions while being incompetent and behind on the industry in general. - At least in the IT department, it was almost impossible to get a raise/promotion. Only fake promotions in which you don’t get a title or salary change but you do get more responsibility. - Toxic culture. If you’re friends with a C-level executive you’ll do well. - Under market pay. - No learning opportunities. The budget for training got cut more and more until it was nonexistent. - Obviously don’t just follow the crowd, but it should mean something that most of the top performers of the company have either left or are trying to leave.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
