What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Management needs a shakeup.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Benefits, Benefits, Benefits.
What did you not like about this institution?
Like most firms I've worked in or read about, this firm offers very little time to have a social life. Management can create a very toxic environment at times. Very rare chances to move up. I busted my butt for more than a decade before ever even being considered for a promotion.
