Pros

Buildings and grounds are well-kept, promoting a healthy work environment. On-site fitness center. EAP provider is exceptional.

Cons

Lack of development/continued growth plan for individual contributors. Imbalance of compensation benefits, across departments and states. Although brought up repeatedly when management has asked, "give an area you feel is in need of improvement," it was never addressed. The compensation package is below norm based on industry data.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
