Pros

At least it goes down as the worst company I've ever worked at. People in the finance department are subservient and do not articulate well, so it can be quite a quiet place to work for:)

Cons

Archaic working culture in the finance department and thinks that they are well above the rest - delusional. People in the finance department work in climate of fear and have little gumption to challenge convention. If you are an old fogey, this place suits you. If you are young, ambitious and idealistic, stay clear!! This applies solely to the finance department. The company as a whole is miserly at best, with very little staff benefits, not befitting of a fortune 100 company.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
