Pros

Most of the people you work "with" are competent and nice to spend the majority of you day with. Work is mostly entertaining and not overly mundane.

Cons

Wow where to start... Poor leadership! directors are mostly hired by their friends, and also hire cell leaders based on prior relationships, and not qualifications. poor raises, lots of lies from HR, company says they are family oriented but they don’t care just make them money! the cream does not rise to top at big blue, ask for a lot of sacrifices from employees yet do not compensate at raise time! if you are good at your job you will never get moved or promoted, only people that get moved, transferred, promoted are the "riff raff" and friends of people in charge. I actually had a former director (who didnt work for SA anymore) admittidly does not like me call and ensure i was not re-hired 12 months later....

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
