Pros

Pretty campuses, senior staff recognizes people by name. Most divisions and departments have pockets of people working together that truly care about the value each employee brings.

Cons

At one time the company retained its core of providing a small company feel even as it grew in numbers. The last several years brought in a LOT of new employees, so much so that you didn’t know all the people in your own department. It seemed like less and less people engage with each other, and hardly lift their faces out of their phones to say hello to each other. The culture that made this truly a great place to work doesn’t exist anymore. The focus seems to be intently on the bottom line and acquisitions. Average employees work 60+ hours a week, and depending on what manager you have promotions and raises don’t happen. Favoritism exists. Employees currently either have been there less than a few years or about 20 years, and the index will very clearly point out the ages. Pay particular attention to the Diversity Equity and Inclusion stats. Middle management is often left unchecked, and people services can be little to no help when issues are raised. Heath insurance isn’t ideal. Used to be BCBS and it moved to UMR. Lots of additional costs to the employee.

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.
