Pros

Unlimited PTO, 45% match 401k, paid medical (although, as other posts state, there are reviews in the works to see which benefits will be changed or removed).

Cons

RTO was completely unnecessary. Executive management provided a chart showing production comparison from all of 2019 then June 2022-March 2023 with no data in between. What wasn’t mentioned in the data was 2019 was pre merger when both companies had their initial CEOs with the culture intact. It didn’t state if it was Kronos or Ultimate. June 2022-March 2023 was the time RTO was kicking off with most of the tenured employees with the most knowledge having already left or been let go from the company. There is no productivity comparison showing the time from March 2020-June 2022 when all employees were 100% remote. The current culture is “If you don’t like it, leave!” The response, as mentioned from the exec’s post of “Simply the best” is pretty much how upper management views employees: Either get used to a toxic environment or get out. Also what is not mentioned is there are several high level positions currently posted that are not only 100% remote, but paying between $150k-$225k. All while frontline reps are being forced to drive in 3 days a week for under the corporate standard wages to sometimes sit in isolation IF there are even desks available since some of the offices closed down. And jobs that do post are not guaranteed to even fulfill the position. With so many changes going on the interview process is usually halted due to the position being dissolved.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
