Pros

Fellow employees on team were smart, engaging, and helpful

Cons

Management was not easy to get along with. Cliques were formed amongst Sr. Managers and Supervisors. Advancement would occur if you brown nosed your way into these factions. Also, no training was made available to advance or further your career. You were locked into the position you started with.

Horrible Toxic Work Enviroment

Pros

Benefits are OK, but that's about it. Depending on hat department your in you might have very little to do. Which for some might be a perk, but not for me.

Cons

Management has serious issue with honesty and integrity. Two of the members of my department quit due to bulling from my manager. I went to HR with similar issues, HR dismissed the idea that anything could be happening. When I showed them emails from the employees that quite they ignored them. When I stated that one of the prior employees that quite said that she had gone to HR with similar issues, they stated that the information was confidential. If you complain you get labeled as a bad employee and you get retaliated against. My manager has actually been keeping information on policy changes from me so I can't do my job properly. The internal politics of the organization is absurd, brown nosing counts for far more than anything else in getting ahead. The above manager actually received an internal commendation for his "good work". Another manager promised me extra training and career development if I took on extra work. Afterwords, the manager had miraculous amnesia. Next time this manager promised it, I asked for it in writing. He absurdly denied having ever made the promise, that he had just made. The same manger above claimed that he knew of no plans for layoffs. A few months latter, it turns out that sure enough he was aware of planned layoffs. Upper management is in a state of dysfunctional narcissism, despite having gotten repeated poor reviews in internal employee surveys, the company hasn't made any changes and appears to be getting worse. I know several employees who have stated that working here has caused them depression. Systems and processes are absurdly manual, bureaucratic, and out of date. They actually seem to be getting more bureaucratic with time. I'm looking at an opportunity elsewhere had will hopefully get out of this toxic environment in 2 months or so.
