Pros

Work from home and industry-standard benefits

Cons

Some other reviewer said they felt like Buck is “dying”. I fully agree. Buck called me, enticed me to quit my stable job to work for Buck, and then laid me off. While I know I was part of a major group of layoffs, it still stung to think I could have just kept my old job. I knew something was wrong when I was there only a couple of months. I never had work that matched what I was hired to do. I was bounced around, and was scrounging for work much of the time. The day they laid me off it was very unceremonious. They called me, told me my access to all systems was revoked, and that I was no longer an employee (after reassuring me the decision had nothing to do with my performance). I was had!

Pros

Buck provides exposure and opportunities for associates earlier in their career compared to its competitors, and local leadership makes an effort to foster personal and professional growth. If you value the experience over time and money, it may be worth riding the waves on this sinking ship early in your career.

Cons

Employees are overworked and underpaid, and the company feels like its dying. Buck seems incapable of growing or even maintaining revenue, so it targets bottom line growth by cutting costs. The overall compensation package has become non-competitive, and each year it becomes further eroded while salaries remain stagnant. Leadership lacks integrity and cannot live up to the social contract it has with its employees, and the response to COVID highlighted the companies financial struggles and their lack of empathy. The majority of employees suffered significant compensation cuts throughout 2020 with the understanding jobs would be preserved, and the betrayal felt after the layoffs in October, during the height of the pandemic, demoralized the employee base back down to Conduent levels. The icing on the cake was the underfunding of the bonus pool. Little has changed since Ashok handed the baton down to Jack Freker, and leadership continues to make the same mistakes as its predecessors.
