Pros

-Good benefits -Opportunities to transfer -Very good pay for many positions -An effective, wonderful CEO. Ms. Spisso is a very smart and effective CEO who clearly cares about employees. She is the platinum standard of taking care of business - running a huge organization - while treating people with respect, dignity and kindness.

Cons

-Untrained and often inept department leadership that creates more problems than they solve -Zero organizational employee appreciation - or acknowledgment -Almost no concern for employees as humans. No work-life balance, etc. -Awful, awful HR department that makes everything difficult. Almost NO ONE in HR ever answers their phone or returns calls/emails in a timely manner. Different people give different answers. It's widely known how inefficient and non-responsive the HR department is and that their top leader, Suzie, couldn't care less. This has gone on for years. -All employees have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to park at work, even temporary and contract employees. -Most departments are routinely understaffed, so front-line employees have a much larger workload than they should. -The union seems to run the show in many departments because management and HR are mostly ineffective
