Pros

Work/life balance, brand new facility, some good people in management, very good benefit package (minus salary), very involved with local charities in the areas they are located

Cons

Overworks employees and sets them up to fail, laying off many employees with established, successful careers and industry credentials. Many front-line managers play favorites and micromanage to the point of suffocating productivity in a vicious cycle. Salary for retirement plan professionals is at least 10-15k below national average, even for a small mid-western town. Many "career" tracks are dead ends unless someone in the position above you leaves. Once we were bought out by CMG, we just turned into a cog in the machine and never felt valued - just something that affected their bottom line.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

Way too much going and l everything is a priority. When concerns are brought up as management is struggling to stay above water daily due to leading multiple teams, having a dozen or more priorities and being in back to back meetings every day, the concerns get brushed off and manager is told to figure it out. Lack of long term departmental vision from Director and constant shift in direction. Director does not care about team members and when concerns brought up from team members through the manager to Director, they get brushed off. So much restructuring going on constantly and leades get replaced every few years due to that. Concerns about more outsourcing down the road as new 3rd party company is starting to take a major application and moving data to their data centers. New major solutions get picked without looking at multiple vendors and any research. Director has a tyrannical leadership style and shuts down conversations and suggestions from management. Director only cares about his image to his peers and people above him and does not care about people reporting to him or people that his managers lead. Management and individual contributors morale is low due to above reasons. Not a good long term place to work.
