Pros

Fellow employees are good, hard-working and well-intended.

Cons

CEO's #1 focus is shareholders. Management's #1 focus is their next promotion. Salaries are stagnant and are often less than the Federal COLA's. Bonuses go to the top 1%. Promotions are politically driven within a "good ol' boy network." Employees are expected to brag about their accomplishments at review time because managers are too busy promoting themselves to know what their staff are doing. Seagull management style is rampant.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
