Pros

Decent pay, bonuses and benefits

Cons

If you have a good supervisor, then this could be a good job. My supervisor had the reputation as being the worst at the company. Even though she was abusive, she worked there for years while making good employees so miserable they had no other choice than to leave. After I left, I heard that they finally fired her. Too little, too late.

Pros

sometimes you can stay at cool hotels. Only 3 times a year. Not worth it.

Cons

They don’t pay you enough to travel to their hotels. Management is SO bad. Living in the 1950s with their management style. It’s a shame because it truly is a cool department but the management ruins it. Bunch of ‘on-the-verge-of-retirement’ managers and team leads who literally don’t care about their employees and will use anything against them. A bunch of bullies. Such a weird weird place. I would never recommend someone working in this department unless things change. Should really be a fully remote role because the office culture sucks.
