Pros

- Unlimited PTO - 401k Matching and Stock Options - Paid insurance - Excellent wellness programs - Remote work (currently) - Great people managers trying to do their best

Cons

- Faceless leaders that lack the skills to adequately engage employees. - The politics are exhausting. - Executive leadership = Good ole' boys club - no diversity in age, gender, or race. - The 'Our purpose is people' tagline does not apply to employees. - High stress and toxic environment. - IT is creating too many disruptions. - No enterprise-wide strategic roadmap and governance. This has and continues to create lots of chaos and collision. - Managers aren't given sufficient resources and information to properly lead their teams. - HR lacks the 'human' element. - Too many reorgs. that aren't 'fully-baked' and lack sufficient transition plans. - Trust does not exist

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
