Good benefits but leadership disconnect and toxic culture

Anonymous employee

Pros

Base compensation is competitive for certain corporate roles. Benefits overall are good. Unlimited PTO is not.

Cons

Compensation does not keep pace with cost of living while C suite comp is outrageous. Culture is toxic, non sales employees are not valued and tenure and employee investment are not valued at all. Complete disconnect and lack of understanding by leadership that engaged employees who feel valued and are not burned out are more efficient and effective.

Pros

Big name A few solid coworkers

Cons

- Been here few months; you can transfer after 6, but the environment may drain you before then - Company policies and manager behavior rarely align - Warnings and termination threats come fast, even without documented performance issues - Positive feedback is few and far between - Expectations shift constantly with little communication - Extra effort goes unnoticed and personally wouldn’t do it but I’ve seen it— early arrivals, skipped lunches, cost‑saving work, flexibility - Rumor‑based concerns raised but never formally addressed - Managers rewarded and not held accountable despite lacking respect, integrity, or basic management skills - Blame always pushed downward; leadership not held accountable - Strongly advise against going above and beyond — take every break you’re entitled to - If you can make it through the first six months, hopefully the grass is greener or at least less detrimental.
