Pros

-Most colleagues are fantastic, good people. -Diversity is valued and encouraged--and it's not just words, but truly seen in action. -There are a lot more remote work opportunities than most places (depending upon the department). -Quite a bit of autonomy as a whole (though some managers can be an exception, of course).

Cons

-Senior leadership has transitioned to focus solely upon profit and not upon people. -Company culture has diminished to where it's actually unpleasant to work here. -There is ZERO company loyalty to employees. -So much time is wasted rolling out ineffective strategies and projects developed at the leadership level that never have a chance for success in the field due to leadership's disconnect with what is really happening in the field. -Layoffs and staff cuts have become a norm; anyone with seniority gets cut due to the need to reduce salary spend. -The company used to care about putting people to work because they cared about people--now it's just a numbers game to try to beat the competition. -The company doesn't follow the same expert advice it gives to clients and the public, to the point it's actually comical. -Lower pay than the competition, despite claiming to be on par with market pay. -Promises aren't honored; if you're told you're working towards an advancement, they will inevitably come up with an excuse to make it so that the advancement NEVER happens. It seems to be a game of having you relentlessly chase a carrot you'll never get.

They go through branch managers like other companies go through cashiers.
