Pros
- Some really wonderful people work here.
- The female VPs are strategic and empathic leaders who are working hard to make some of the needed systemic improvements.
- The CEO does a great job expressing sincere gratitude.
- Their culture committee does a lot of intentional events to help balance the more negative elements of the system and culture.
Cons
- They struggle with a clear and unified long-term business strategy and organizational structure.
- Their leadership is misaligned across multiple business units, and due to several major growth years and acquisitions along with the above-mentioned issues, they are poised to experience a profit decline, a reduction in force, and a deterioration of what positive culture has been built.
- Because they don't plan well, they don't communicate well.
- This organization is a prime candidate to automate with AI and lay off many newer employees who are not fully vested (3 years) in their ESOP.
- Their compensation is a bit below average and their HDP medical plan is not great if you have a family with medical needs. They do what they can to help, but UMR does not provide the best support.
- They have the right healthy culture words on the wall, but much of their senior leadership does not appear to actually be behind them, so they lack the internal systems to improve them.
