Pros

• Solid training programs that prepare you well for onsite responsibilities. • Onsite teams are generally supportive and collaborative. • Good resources and tools available to help communities succeed. • Opportunities to build strong relati

Cons

• Toxic, unaccountable HR leadership—especially at the top—creates a culture of fear, retaliation, and silence. • Promotions are based on favoritism, not merit—only a select inner circle advances. • Zero diversity in senior leadership; non-white employees are systemically excluded from growth opportunities. • HR protects the company, not its people—issues are dismissed, and retaliation is real. • A culture that preaches values but fails to practice them; unethical behavior is overlooked if you’re in the “right crowd.”
