Pros

A paycheck and some benefits.

Cons

Many issues stem from leadership and culture. Executive decision-making is extremely top-down, with little regard for employee feedback, including Glassdoor reviews. Quality is routinely sacrificed for speed. Lower-level managers lack the authority to drive change, yet are closely micromanaged and measured against unrealistic goals. The work-life balance is unsustainable, with long days and weekend work commonly expected in order to stay afloat.

Pros

Strong opportunities for career growth Many people are willing to mentor and support others without expecting anything in return Supportive culture, even from people who may not know you personally Increased focus on education and development, especially for leaders More company activities at the local office, which has been a welcome change Fun associate engagement opportunities like escape rooms, art activities, games, and food events So many opportunities for recognition

Cons

There are still some areas where the company appears to be rebuilding trust and confidence Change is noticeable and appreciated, but some improvements are still in progress Feedback has clearly helped shape recent changes, and it will be good to see that progress continue
