People are good, benefits are so-so, Sr Management has been lacking for years
Pros
Co-workers are great, we all have the attitude that we are stuck on this ship together. For those that are allowed to work from home, it does have its benefits
Cons
Each year the benefits are reduced, with previous management, you knew they were lying to you when they talked. Every Company Quarterly All-Hands was a cheering session or the sales team, and how great they were doing, but we continued to hear how we were in financial distress. Senior management would play games with employees and their benefits - prime example, they came out one August and said that they were going to max PTO (by the way, we call it Pretend Time Off, because even if you are off, you are probably going to work. Even had a Sr Director tell us, company first, vacation last, and he mandated that someone that was in vacation be at a customer site on December 26 and 27 for a meeting. ) to 5 weeks, but if you were over 5 weeks, you were grandfathered. Within 8 weeks, they on an All Hands call, they stated that everyone was going to be cut to 5 weeks, and they would not allow any questions. Another time, someone asked about merit increases, we were told that they were already giving out, and if we had questions we had to talk to our managers. What we found out is that HR with no rhyme or reason decided who got raises and it was less than 10% of the employees (and some were not even ranked the highest in performance). Health Insurance cost continues to rise and the deductibles, meds that are covered, office visits continue to rise with it (more so than other companies in our market, I have checked with peers in other companies). Work from home - the company is now trying to drive more and more employees in to the office. They have been using the generic distance of 30 miles to the nearest off and you are to report there. Thirty miles in Atlanta, Dallas, DC can be over a 2 hour commute, but the company does not see it that way.
