Pros
- Some teams have a good culture - No 401k the first year, but immediate match and vesting after you're eligible - Daycare on site is great - Cafeteria on site is heavily subsidized by the company - PTO is decent (2 weeks vacation, 1 week sick upon hire & 3 weeks vacation, 1 week sick every anniversary after) - People have a very positive impression of Casey's, but how employees are treated does not back that up
Cons
- Benefits are not great and not competitive with other corporate environments (corporate employees are not the same as the stores!!!) - No paid parental leave from the company (you only get short term disability, FMLA unpaid, or sick/vacation), so men and adoptions get nothing - Pay increase is now down to a maximum of 2% annually (we used to get 5%+) - No bonus program or educational reimbursement - Business dress at corporate is ridiculous, just let employees wear jeans with polos/blouses and they'd be happier with their jobs at zero cost - No cross departmental communication or coordination - No onsite gym or deals with local gyms - Extremely resistant to change of any kind by all employees (staff through executive) - So many employees have been here 20+ years that they are in positions they're not qualified for and holding the company back from potential - No room for movement as very few management positions open up - Company is run extremely lean with minimal employees so a lot is expected out of every department - The culture in general needs a lot of work (no diversity, somewhat sexist, every person for themselves) - We had an actual tornado emergency where you could see the tornado from corporate, and it was complete chaos (execs and management didn't even know what to do) - The company won't spend money unless it makes them money, so no investment in the people - A lot of new hires with great potential leave within the first few years because they can get better pay, benefits, work, etc. at other companies in the area... It's only a matter of time before more people the same
