Pros

The building is nice with a cafeteria.

Cons

Identity crisis. This company is going through re organization after re organization after re organization. Horrible training and development as no one has time for this. Recently let hundreds of employees go and left the remaining staff fighting to keep their jobs with skeleton crews and knowledge drain. Brought in a bunch of big wig, corporate types to clean house. You're either with us or against us type stance is rampant now. Management will find a way to separate you to save their jobs out of fear of losing their jobs. HR partners will just side with management. You will be held accountable and will pay for decades of mismanagement. Horrible technology with archaic operating systems. Cancel culture will eventually get you for providing your feedback if it’s not done anonymously. I would stay far, far away from this organization, specifically the operations center in Appleton, WI. All of this during the Covid pandemic and working from home struggles. Nice way to treat your people during the most difficult time in people’s lives. Employee relations went out the door with the re organizations.
