Company going down hill

Pros

Benefits are OK, other employees are good to work with, & casual work environment.

Cons

The CEO created an office for himself in New York City for the prestige. The bulk of the employees work in an office in Spokane, WA so he really doesn't see what is happening with the company he is "overseeing" other than looking at numbers and what is pushed up from lower management that report what makes them look good. Quantity is now viewed as more important than quality which is the reverse of what the company was founded on. Often promotions are based on friendships and activities like drinking outside of worktime. In many areas, if you aren't a partier you don't fit in and you won't get ahead. There isn't much in the way of training yet employees are expected to hit the ground running and are evaluated on things they have not been trained on. Deskside training only means people are training others what they think is the right way to do things even though it might not be correct. This company has been around long enough it shouldn't be floundering like it is. The constant changes in leadership, company name, process changes, etc. is keeping this company down. Leadership refuses to take into account what has already been tried and they try it again because it's now their idea and "it's never been done before". There is also the programs that have been purchased that don't fit what is needed but yet "they" keep trying to make it work rather than admitted to the mistake, cutting the losses and moving on.

Toxic culture

Pros

None. Seriously, it used to be the best place to work. Great people. However, a lot of the good ones have either left or been fired.

Cons

10 CEOs later and millions paid in parachutes, the people who made it great have either left or been fired and the good ones still there have all been silenced for fear of losing their jobs.

Pros

Departments outside of the R.E.O. division are professional, diverse and promote honesty & integrity.

Cons

Some employees within the R.E.O. unit act with a "mean girl gang mentality." Some are passive-aggressive. If you are intelligent, assertive, don't silently suffer foolish and unprofessional behavior invariably one is alienated by some team members and a campaign of malicious gossip is employed. If you do not fit into "a comfortable stereotype of an African-American woman" to placate some of the troublemakers' insecurities, you are sabotaged. Essentially, a festering of negativity and hood mentality prevails as the "norm". I have observed unsuspecting good employees become the victims of this ignorant gang mentality.
