Pros

The company has great values and being a Catholic organization, you are encouraged to be open about your faith. Deborah Proctor seems very genuine, kind, and smart. All the Sisters are wonderful!

Cons

Corporate is very secretive and wasteful. In the last few years, they have made decisions to downsize (which many companies have had to do) however they did not execute well and many employees were left wondering what happened to the values. Employees also learn that while they're taking hiring freezes, merit freezes, staff reductions, working double duty, etc. that corporate has been spending lavishly and continues to make secretive large dollar purchases on products that are not executed. Employees are discouraged to speak honesty when it is not what executives want to hear. They tell you there's an open door policy but when you express concerns, you are not well received and certainly learn a valuable lesson in keeping your mouth shut. Employees are now in an environment where they fear losing their jobs. When asking an employee in another department for any help that is needed from their department, it is now the norm to not receive a phone call back or email response period, even after several attempts. It's really become a sad place and it's common to hear in the hallways that "If I could find another job, I would leave immediately."

Pros

coworkers pay supporting people in community They post the same job in multiple locations because they are open to having that role exist in different locations in many cases (note the pay is also based on where as well though) Info for those reading reviews to get a picture: I'm United States, but India reviews should really be separate feedback entirely, paid less and fed daily (read location: Hyderabad).

Cons

My last management was completely toxic Had health issues and a valid claim that was ignored, only pressured Was pushed out by my management when they found out my salary Mgmt requested to submit feedback for improvement, then retaliated Since HR was outsourced and trying to protect the company from further lawsuits (I was not one but contemplated due to validity) of absolutely no help and honestly, completely inappropriate. You will be repeatedly asked to provide feedback, but it will be killed with a 1 on 1. If I had laid down and taken the angry repercussions of their poor process implementation, and their complete lack of accountability, I would still be there - I just would have transferred to another manager. Some managers and teams are more toxic than others, but favoritism and bullying are allowed and seen Overworked and under-represented but was great for several years.
