Great work life balance but very stagnant company

Associate client relations manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible work policy, telecommuting, work life balance, if in the right departments it is easy to be recognized for your work and achievement, benefits are fantastic; great first job (just move on quickly!).

Cons

very silo'd departments; most of upper management have only ever worked for this organization so there is a lack of innovation and forward thinking; HR is very lacking; junior staff are generally not given enough credit;

Used to be ideal work environment, left when it was shell of itself

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited PTO nice but mostly so corporate did not have to pay out unused balances; benefits nice but at cost of lower salary

Cons

Too many executives hired that were touted as friends of CEO or other VPs. Growth mindset and constant org chart changes burned out most employees on our teams. No additional compensation when given larger workloads. Promised educational or training opportunities never came after years of talk. Too many internal management meetings. Poor financial tools and support staff; went through no less than a dozen finance analysts while I was there. Too much of a push to replace existing staff with cheaper folks based out of regional hubs. Layoffs were handled poorly and devastated morale.
