Svantaggi
If you enjoy being talked down to and upper management keeping secrets about the merger from you, then this might be a pro for you. The merger with CIC felt as if we were being taken over by a group of people incompetent of leading. Many of us were 6+ year CIC employees and worked hard to get into leadership. We were then demoted to a glorified agent but were told "at least I'm not lowering your pay". No empathy for their employees needs and precious CIC customers who were no longer able to review a loan because theirs systems are so archaic. Promotions and hiring was only being done within CCF in OH and the rest of us defecated on. They drove away employees who actually cared about morals and helped the customers. Reduction of our bonuses didn't help matters as management lined their pockets with cash. They would send hostile employees from the CCF office to our cleveland location that absolutely made it a toxic work environment while they were here.
