I have worked here going on 10 years. This used to be a much better place to work. I will say that they are excellent with work/life balance. However, some leaders have no training with mental health, and it has been an issue when I suffered some issues several years back.

There are management development programs, which basically eliminate you from moving up the ladder, unless you make it into these programs, which in most people's opinions, are heavily coached to assist certain people to get in.

The new programs are all regional. This is decent on the outset, however the local management no longer pushed to make anyone a permanent employee. This itself is a poor practice as with well over 40 term employees, there is a little bit of a competitive attitude, which is fine when it is on the up and up, however there has been some attempts at character assassination. Yes, it occurs frequently.

The pay is ok. The union at the national level doesn't really understand the term negotiation. They will not give anything up and are not interested in hearing anything outside of the established rhetoric.

Office gossip is rampant. This also exists at the management level, which I believe is why it is tolerated at the lower levels as well. Additionally, there are issues with some team leaders and management, and the conflict is exceptionally clear to anybody that is around. it is a horrible environment when this is happening near where you sit.

There is a great deal of overt favoritism. Some floors have noise issues, and some signs were erected, which did nothing but belittle adults. But the person who actually headed up the "sign project" is one of the worst for visiting with everyone.
