Pros

IT is responsive with updated systems that rarely crash; HR department maintains a neutral position in challenging situations and offers more assistance in problem-resolution than I've seen elsewhere

Cons

Management unprofessional and political; poor training; lack of accountability from management for their actions; compensation (input) is reflected in the quality of the output...needs attention

Pros

There are a lot of talented, hardworking people at this company, which makes recent leadership decisions even more frustrating.

Cons

Communication around major organizational changes has been vague and inconsistent, leaving employees with significant uncertainty and little confidence in the direction of the business. Morale has declined considerably. Many employees feel that years of experience, performance, and institutional knowledge are being undervalued in favor of rigid policies and top-down decision making.
