Pros

All the good reasons have gone away, there's just no upside anymore.

Cons

Since Russell took over, the corporate culture has turned into a miasma of misery and distrust. RTO policy and toxic management has driven many top employees away. It looks like "Mad Men" is the culture they're going for now.

Pros

I love working here, it’s a great fit for the right strengths. If you’re an adaptable, tenacious, problem solver, you’ll thrive. There are repetitive and unique tasks that arise, satisfying both needs for structure and challenge. I’ve watched our CEO grow with his delivery during town halls and office interactions.

Cons

Internal communications could be more streamlined and centralized; the majority of communications target the field and associates could benefit on less formal internal communications of what’s occurring within business units.

Pros

Modern office space and generally pleasant physical work environment.

Cons

Leadership appears to equate visibility with productivity. Employees are closely monitored, and minor deviations from expected routines can receive disproportionate attention. The culture often feels less focused on results and more focused on ensuring people are visibly performing work at all times. Note: the lowest pay in the industry. There is a noticeable gap between stated values and day-to-day management practices. Professional adults are treated as though they require constant oversight, which creates an atmosphere of distrust. Rather than empowering employees to succeed, management frequently defaults to control, criticism, and second-guessing. Training and development expectations are often unrealistic. Employees are expected to rapidly absorb complex material while simultaneously maintaining full workloads and navigating shifting expectations. Success is expected, but meaningful support is inconsistent. The organization would benefit from spending less time monitoring employees and more time addressing strategic priorities, process improvements, and retention concerns. Talented people do not leave because the work is difficult; they leave because they are exhausted by unnecessary management friction.
