Pros
The vast majority of the people at this company are a real pleasure to work with, and have a positive teamwork attitude. Leadership at the local level, at least in the Minneapolis office, and the growth opportunity they provided in my career, is largely what had kept me at this company for 6+ years.
Cons
The culture of this organization has taken a steady decline over the last 18 months, with layoffs being a regular occurance. For a company being in the 'people' business, they aren't very good at taking care of their hardest working loyal employees even after years of service when they're laid off - they don't do severance pay here. It's a shame - the culture of this company really used to be what I loved about working here the most, and it has just dwindled. The CEO's tactic of trying to rule by fear when he has a company-wide audience every Monday morning has been casting a negative tone over the company since the beginning of 2024. The culture of fear from all of the above also has top talent choosing to abandon ship before it sinks.
