Pros

Claim to be open minded. Great benefits and new building.

Cons

People terrified to make one stap wrong - culture of fear and everyone is fake. I've never worked with people who thought flowers should be sent for cancelling a meeting. Ridiculous!

Pros

- Received a standard card from partners - exact same messages written in all cards for colleagues with a $20 gift card to thank us for busy season support.

Cons

- Enrolling in the health plan and dental plan was difficult to navigate as myself and another new hire were only given a link to a website with no additional guidance. -Management expected administrative staff to complete tasks that no reasonable individual could complete in a regular work day and would either refuse or begrudgingly allow you 5 hours a week of overtime. This amount of time was not even close to enough time to complete tasks and staff essentially worked countless hours of unpaid overtime. -Colleagues and myself were paid a salary less than 50k for 37.5 hours a week but would have to work 50 hours a week and had to fight to get 5 of those hours paid. - I was the 5th person in 10 days to resign due to the frustration of being unable to meet impossible expectations under threat of dismissal. - Stress placed on staff by management resulted in the following (and no, I'm not making this up): An ambulance actually came to our floor in the building and had to take one of the staff away to the hospital because she was having heart palpitations that were ascribed to the stress put on her by management. People crying at their desks due to the frustration of meeting impossible deadlines.

Pros

There are some (very few) great HR employees at the organization.

Cons

There is no work life balance at this organization. The expectations are so high on every single team, that you will work yourself to the bone for absolutely no money. Management on every team is chosen by nepotism, unless you are liked by senior leadership there is absolutely no way you will move up. There are also mass layoffs constantly that nobody will every talk about.
