No Integrity in Leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

They were targeting each other in attempts to blackball executive leadership. Teams would intentionally not communicate fractured processes in order to place blame. Politics and nepotism is valued over hardwork and delivery. The culture is shameful and heavily lacks integrity and transparency. Also, they pay below market rate for similar titles in the same verticals.

Cons

Leadership Dishonorable Lack of Transparency Wonky Pay Equity On-Site

Pros

If you like being overworked, underpaid and told on a daily basis you suck, this jobs for you!

Cons

Benefits have diminished greatly over the years. Especially health insurance. You basically need to be an Olympic athlete or you will pay extra. Your insurance premium has gone up so much, what's covered is reduced, and an extremely high deductible, spousal usage fee's, biometric requirements must be made....or else.. another charge, same for biometrics for spouse. Oh and if spouse has insurance thru their company? Yeaaa we aren't covering them anymore. Completely off the charts horrible!
