1 Housing discounts are not the greatest based on prices around the area, you can rent an independent place at the same price as the discounted housing offered by the company.
2 401K is matched but only 50%, you are fully vested at 4 years with the company, some other companies match 100%.
3 Recognition runs like the mafia, only the circle of friends get constant recognition and promotions, it doesn't really matter if the rest of the company knows that the recognition or the promotion wasn't deserved or has been given as a favor, the hard workers who really deserve it are often left behind and neglected. If you want to become someone in the company you need to know the right people and constantly kiss the bottom line if you know what I mean or become someone's favorite.
4 This part gets me sad. The company constantly preaches that the employees are number one and treated equal but their actions speak otherwise. When a new field employee gets hired they do an news letter recognizing the new employee stating their name and position together with other employees and that's it but when someone at corporate gets hired with a PHD or BA or other titles, a company wide email is sent welcoming the new employee asking everyone to welcome him/her making the field employee feel unimportant or less of a human being than the corporate employee, sad.
5 This one is really bad, I don't know how or why but bullies are on a rampage in the company, the bullies constantly attack other employees that often are minorities and can't defend themselves which makes me think that the race card is played, the bullies hide behind upper management and HR, HR makes sure the bullying is justified and constantly cover for the bully which feels encouraged to do more bullying because someone has their back, they even cover for all kinds of harassment and no one does nothing.
