Pros
You get to work remotely?
Kontras
Following the Chapter 11 restructuring and leadership changes, several new policies were introduced that significantly impacted the work environment. Employees who live within forty miles are now required to return to the office depending on their business area, while remote employees are required to remain on camera throughout the entire workday. For talent acquisition professionals, this approach creates an awkward and impractical work environment. Recruiters spend most of the day conducting interviews, meeting with hiring managers, and having confidential conversations with candidates. Being required to stay on camera in a shared virtual room while interviewing or speaking privately with candidates feels uncomfortable and unnecessary. The policy creates a sense of constant monitoring rather than trust and autonomy. Instead of focusing on outcomes such as candidate pipelines, interview volume, and successful hires, the emphasis appears to be on visible activity. This is particularly challenging in a role that requires privacy, professionalism, and the ability to move fluidly between interviews and meetings throughout the day. Overall morale has been impacted by the level of micromanagement and the lack of flexibility introduced after the leadership change.
