Pros

There is a legacy of having an employee focus as well as a customer focus. Clearly, the company has dramatically veered from this position (in its actions, not necessarily in voiced intent). The one positive I see is that there is a legacy on which one can hope and pray the company will get back to.

Cons

In this professional role, employees are treated as para-professional (clerical support) i.e. time clocks, minute/hourly schedules including lunch and breaks. Metrics-driven focus is over-done to a fault. Metrics are often viewed without proper context therefore creating lack of understanding and lead to poor decisions. Ultimately, the volume, quality, and service expectations that are in place cannot realistically co-exist with model and more importantly the staffing (count and quality) objectives of the company.

Pros

Great benefits. Work culture is positive, middle management is generally very employee friendly.

Executives seem to be less focused on overall employee satisfaction each year.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
