Pros

Competitive pay, good 401(k) match, great vacation and sick policy.

Cons

As much as the CEO and senior team don't want too admit it. It seems the culture is changing and not going in a positive direction. The company has gone in a negative direction with the introduction of the new CEO, Garrick Rochow. Patti Poppe was a better CEO. John Russell, before Patti was a better CEO. We're going through a Career Rewards and Framework change and its been a disaster. Nothing seems to have gone right with it. I'm sure it started off with good intentions, but the implementation has been terrible. It was supposed to help people better understand their roles and what's expected to advance at the company. It's done none of that. Based on what senior leadership is telling us is there will be room for career growth and advancement, but they're making it more difficult for everyone. How is there going to be more room for opportunities when there is a reduction in headcount? We recently went from 8,800 employees down to 8,400. The math doesn't work. Less positions means less opportunities.
