Pros

Great people in the department, some of the nicest people I've ever worked with Good for entry level training They hire from a wide range of experience and backgrounds

Cons

Pay and benefits are not remotely competitive, the healthcare benefits are even worse now because they didn't increase to match rising costs of the health plan they offer. When workers complained about this they were given tips about how to reduce their insurance coverage to save costs. Serious disconnect between senior leadership and workers. They are all about promoting a new way of working, which is essentially forcing people back into the office for hybrid working at minimum, without acknowledging the fact that there is a serious attrition issue already and most competitors are offering more flexible working arrangements with better pay and benefits; many people prefer WFH and productivity increased massively; rising cost of fuel; no change to staff parking costs for hybrid workers even though they have years to plan for it at this stage. You really get the feeling that they just don't care about workers.
