Trustmark Reviews

Mandatory in the office. Lack of support from executive leadership

In short, Trustmark is just a toxic place to be right now, especially in IT. Some of this has been building for a number of years (there were some outside hires around the time of Covid that have been making things increasingly bottom-line focused, and a series of purges of some existing management), but then about a year ago the IT department decided to lay off 30 IT employees (some with decades of experience) and a large number of contractors (some of whom had been with Trustmark for years). The explanation the company would give is that this was necessary to help us grow in the future, but in the meantime it completely destroyed morale since it's obvious they don't care about us in the slightest and would cut us without a second thought. Loyalty means nothing to Trustmark. While that has been going on, new middle management has come in that clearly doesn't show any respect for existing employees (as we apparently aren't up to the standards of their previous companies) further killing any motivation anybody might have. When you add in things like the company boasting about having hundreds of millions of dollars in cash reserves (but still giving minimal pay increases) and rumors going around that people have been fired for speaking out, it's just an awful place to be (made worse by the fact that it was for a long time a pretty nice place to be). Between all of this, I left (after being there a very long time and thinking I never would), and I hear many of my coworkers have followed. I would highly recommend anybody stay away.
