      Employee and customer-focused company

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Many good opportunities for growth within the company. Big and necessary changes made in the past 3-5 years that allow the company to remain highly-competitive in the market and to potential recruits.

      Cons

      Still many people who believe the company owes them something because they have not worked in other industries or for other companies and seen how businesses have been forced to adapt in the last decade. If a company isn't evolving, they are falling behind.

      Good industry and company - not a place for an HR career

      Human resources manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great industry and commitment to helping others. Most functions, outside of HR, generally well-run. Beautiful office campus.

      Cons

      Highly political and biased decision making in internal promotional/selection and rewards - relatively high HR turnover in the U.S. HR senior management has little to no interest in HR being an employee advocate as they are highly focused on being "strategic" only. Little to no value for lower level employees (entry level staff, hourly/support) long terms employees - very prone to thinking who's new/young will be better. They tout diversity - but the interpretation is very narrow and applies to being diverse in race only and results in overall narrow-minded thinking.
