Pros

Salary is pretty average - maybe slightly below but not bad.

Cons

Very poor culture in the finance department and the departments that we supported. Management and employees make fun of mentally disabled people and people who leave the company. Management is always trying to prove something and try to take credit for people's work. No understanding of personal lives. Insurance is significantly below industry average and they use a cheap provider that very few doctor's offices work with. They went public and immediately became obsessed with results rather than being a good place to work. The finance department turned over about 35% of their staff in less than 12 months because people are so miserable and because there are better options out there. PTO is so far below industry average that you almost think it's a joke. Basically all white men in power except a few white women. No diversity.

Pros

This is a very human place. People are generous with support and consistently demonstrate a connection to each other. The mission of the organization is one that everyone can relate to. Highly recommend.

Cons

We are very distributed based on number of locations. We are still connected but I'd like to be able to connect with more people in person.

Pros

The work hours make for a good work/home life balance. Employees at all levels are usually willing to help one another. Fairly good job security.

Cons

Pretty meager health benefits for such a large company. Base pay that will never be competitive. The sense of feeling you’re expected to do the job of 2 1/2 people for the pay of one. Management gives you the sense that we’re just barely getting by financially at all times.
