Vantaggi
Back when this was Dean, employees were respected, paid okay, benefits were good and workloads were manageable. The only positive that remains is that some employees still have flexibility in their schedule to work off-site.
Svantaggi
This company, since merging with SSM continues to devalue and disrespect their employees. Employees are leaving in flocks and the employees left behind assume the work load of three to four people. Even worse, there is no gratitude or respect for the work they are doing. There is a constant change in leadership, who all come in with a new vision, who all continue to roll out projects at an unmanageable pace with very ridiculous timelines and none of these said leaders sitting in their offices actually have to do the work, so are unaffected and turn a deaf ear to those sounding the alarms. The employees would like to do a good, quality job but no longer have the tools to do so. Little perks like working off-site or wearing jeans or providing some munchies for an occasion have all vanished. The culture is chaotic and negative with employee morale at its lowest. The pay is meager, especially in places with a higher cost of living. The pay increases or salaries have not kept up. Whereas pay used to be based on your work effort and quality it is now equal and minimal for all employees even further reducing the drive of anyone to put a passionate, quality work effort into their projects. Yet the most disgraceful change in environment is that the employees who used to be respected for their expertise, skills and knowledge are now thought of robots with no opinion and are not listened to for exactly the points on their resume they were hired for. The chiefs in this company, although not experts in most areas, think they know best and do not listen to those who are below them.
