Pros

- Great benefits - Flexible work/life balance, especially if you got in when they were still hiring outside of STL - Mixed opportunities to grow

Cons

- After the most recent organization redesign, there was no attempt to skill-match roles or design actual ways of working. New roles/jobs have very little definition. - Mid and Senior-level leaders have no idea how the work is actually done. No common strategic direction. Leaders don't seem to be hired or promoted for experience in their roles. - Leaders are rewarded for their individual contribution, so you are subjected to their whims at any given moment. - So incredibly siloed, it's out of control.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
