Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits and nice colleagues

Cons

There is a culture problem at ASSP. People work in silos and do not collaborate across teams. As work changes and we evolve, collaboration is necessary for our survival but people - especially some leaders- are only worried about getting credit for ideas and staying in the favor of the CEO. There are bizarre and questionably ethical dynamics between some members of the executive team. The CEO is aware of these dynamics and seems to turn the other cheek. These dynamics create bad optics when it comes to potential favoritism and advancement opportunities.

Pros

Strong Benefits Package: Competitive and comprehensive, contributing positively to work-life balance. Supportive Colleagues: Many dedicated and passionate team members who are great to work with. Meaningful Mission: Working in support of workplace safety gives purpose and pride in the work being done.

Cons

Lack of Open Dialogue: In recent years, there’s been a noticeable decline in the openness to certain staff ideas. Suggestions that differ from the prevailing view are often dismissed without discussion, making participation feel discouraged—even in meetings designed for collaboration. Disregard for Staff Feedback: Employee surveys and comments are not being utilized constructively, despite their intended purpose of improving organizational health. Return to Silos: After making progress toward collaborative teamwork, the organization has reverted to siloed decision-making. Subject-matter experts are often left out of relevant discussions. Devaluing Tenure: Long-term employees sometimes feel that their loyalty and institutional knowledge are no longer respected or valued. Lack of Inclusivity for Different Work Styles: Introverted team members or those with quieter approaches are often overlooked, rather than being recognized for their strengths and unique contributions. Overreliance on External Consultants: In situations where internal expertise exists, outside consultants are often brought in instead. This not only overlooks the knowledge and experience of current staff who have been close to the situation but can also bypass more thoughtful, inclusive internal processes.
