Pros

Pretty good culture, management ideas are a little outdated. It is still a hierarchy. Senior management has the right ideas. PD and Corp seem to be doing well. Benefits are great, lots of remote work and unlimited PTO. They hire great people. I like everyone.

Cons

Senior management is fresh and implementing lots of change that is needed and will benefit in the long run. Mid managers are struggling to implement. Internal groups are in conflict right now fighting over budgets. Cross functional collaboration feels low right now. Hiring is stagnant, it is difficult to get approval to open a job requisition. I would like to stay but I will leave if I can't find a good role or stretch assignment. I expect to leave before 1 year. DE&I is improving but diversity is more than women in leadership positions. I know they know that but I am not seeing it.

Pros

If you're looking for a company that will take a chance on you w/o prior HR background, CAH is the way to go. The team based in OH were really nice and collaborative. So can't complain. Basically getting promotion is like playing a role on Game of Thrones. The more connection you know, the more chances of landing promotion. Less network means less career advancement

Cons

Too much restructuring and cost cutting going on. Lots of great talents leaving. Way behind globalization. Salary distortion is prevalent among the HR team. TA and the HR team needs to work hand in hand to ensure that hiring for a Sr HR/managerial role is done flawlessly. Hiring candidate w/ solid Hr background in the managerial and director level is something that everyone needs to maintain as minimum requirement. If the hiring process keeps doing it wrong, expect a high turnover from great unhappy ees leaving the team.
