Work-life balance, but morale and trust have plummeted
Pros
Work life balance and getting to work from home
Cons
Since IPH acquired Embrace, employee morale has steadily declined. Many of the positive aspects of working here have been eliminated. Benefits were reduced, the majority of the IT department was laid off, and holiday bonuses were discontinued. Employees were told that although our PTO was being reduced, we would now have a company-wide “Wellness Day” as part of the new benefits. We were specifically informed that all IPH companies would be closed on July 2 and July 3, with July 2 designated as our Wellness Day. Then, about six weeks ago,management sent an email stating that those promised Wellness Days had been revoked and employees would be expected to work after all. Experiences like this have made it difficult to trust leadership. Repeated changes to promised benefits and perks have left many employees feeling undervalued and disappointed.
