Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is decent- been shopping around for a new job and realizing pay is standard, bonus % is midrange to slightly low, LTI is good. Benefits are good. Not the best in the industry but they are pretty good.

Cons

Depending on the department, management can be very difficult to deal with. Worked in multiple departments- some were pretty good, some were horrible. Went to HR and they couldn’t care less. Filed a case with irrefutable documentation - it was reviewed and completely dismissed.
