Pros

Great coworkers, good benefits. Free parking and decent hours, that is about all. Lots of cons outweigh the pros in this place.

Cons

Zero communication from management. One of our managers left and then the director and then we just had a supervisor. The supervisor was doing a great job, lots of communication and support. Then another manager stepped in and pulled away the communication by micromanaging the department. Taking on all of the work and not sharing basic information is a form of toxic mismanagement and that’s what this person does. That manager gossips and told his entire department that an employee quit over the phone and swore at him. That is not and should not be public information. He also told another staff member she was not needed there because she is pregnant. She went to HR and they didn’t do anything. Toxic. Stay. Away.

Pros

revious director demonstrated strong empathy and support, creating an engaging and positive environment even during challenging periods. The department has a resilient, capable team that can adapt and thrive when leadership is supportive. Opportunities exist for employee pride and fulfillment if culture is prioritized again. HR processes have shown potential for effectiveness under strong leadership.

Cons

Leadership changes have significantly impacted job satisfaction and morale. The current HR Director is not effectively supporting employees, contributing to frustration and disengagement. Micromanagement, particularly during major initiatives like Workday implementation, has undermined autonomy, created uncertainty in roles, and eroded trust. Understaffing and systemic issues are compounded by repeated directives to "hang in there" without transparency on resources or realistic support, while workloads increase and leadership expresses disappointment in results.
