Pros

Work schedule, Prompt Service for Internal Issues, Great Employee Resources and Frequent Training, Clean workplace and Sticks to internal, statewide rules.

Cons

Wrong approach to employee satisfaction. Social toxicity from top leadership all the way down to claims\operations\safety. An image obsessed culture that promotes a bullying attitude and encourages gossip. Management's blatant favoritism. High workloads across the board. Intentional internal obstacles in systems and workflows gets in the way of efficiency. Feels like middle school with constant whispering, gossip and trash talking between everyone. massive egos and superiority complex agency wide make coming to work seem like a daily popularity contest. Agency refuses to get onboard with state centralized programs via DAS and insists on keeping total independence despite impacting efficiency, appearing brash and demanding way more resources.

Pros

The only pro was eliminated when a full time RTO was enforced … except for a handful of service offices that continue to work remotely permanently. These employees obviously have a higher level of job satisfaction. Do not apply here thinking you’re ever going to achieve any work life balance or be a part of any modern decision making. Every decision made by this organization aims to take us back to the 80s and keep us stuck there. You will likely never have a hybrid or remote schedule. BWC picked select special offices to treat entirely different than the rest of its employees and those people are the only ones who will ever see a remote career and they are the ones leaving positive reviews. Upper management does not care about the happiness of the employees, nor do they have interest in creating a fair environment.

Cons

Every decision upper management has made in the past few years has contributed to the work environment that exists today: overburdened and stressed out employees who are deeply dissatisfied. You would be hard pressed to find any employees who are happy right now … except of course for the remote worker from Dayton who left a 5 star review for the “great work environment” — i.e. their home. The full time RTO employees and remote employees are extremely divided right now and there is a lot of resentment. It is definitely not a pleasant place to be working right now. Morale is at an all time low.
