Pros
So, you want to work for Bonterra. Rather than talk about all the reasons a person shouldn’t work at Bonterra, I’m going to give reasons Bonterra might be for you. Let’s pay it forward!
Are you a white male? Oh boy do we have a leadership position for you! There is almost 0 chance you will be competing with a POC or female. Just check out the ELT photos. One currently in leadership? Don’t worry, the company will push them out of your way. Also, don’t stress about those pesky diversity measures. Bonterra doesn’t need more effort than a slack channel and it’s deeply confusing to leadership how they could possibly do more. What on earth would leadership do if they didn’t hire people that look like them? How would a person even know they were working somewhere special like Bonterra? Our leadership pictures need to glow in the dark.
Are you someone who wants the thrill of not knowing if you will have a job at lunch every day? Baby, we are three, wait four, rounds of layoffs in. Thursdays are going to be a highlight. We’re even participating in demotions now. White male? I’m sorry to say, this could be a con for you. This is part of clearing the path for your ascension. Where’s the challenge!?
Are you someone who enjoys reverse engineering? You’re a contender too! We have engaged in the kind of cost saving measures that will make sure there’s no one who knows how that feature works behind the scenes. Layoffs will be double fun for you if you also want to enjoy your lunch in the thrill of anxiety.
Do you want more white VP’s with gardeners and treadmills, more company acquisitions, fewer benefits, and a commitment to not adjusting pay for inflation? Boy oh boy, the wins just keep coming. You can watch leadership burn money at your expense on a regular basis. Multiple VP positions are open now! The cost of your job will make sure ELT gets the fair pay they deserve. Be an absolute shame if they couldn’t afford that vacation home.
Do you want to union bust in the face of all the union clients? You will love the propaganda. Competitive pay? That’s pretty recent folks. Could it have been the union negotiations? The world may never know!
Are you into philanthropy for the purpose of tax write offs? Come help support the vision. The CEO even started his own charity instead of encouraging donations to the existing long term clients already doing the work in that space better and with actual experience. The money that will end up parked for his family… chef’s kiss.
Do you want to be concerned about what happens when a monopoly holds this much sway over the Dems? Bask in the glory. Bonus feels for anyone who thinks brain drain and deep personnel cuts creates a supportive environment in…let me check…2024.
Cons
Bonterra is on fire! Don’t pay attention to the trash can behind ELT Dorathy. There are blogs to read.
