Pros
I am unsure about the person that wrote the review entitled, “Move on, the frustration is not worth it” but I am also a current employee of nearly 3 years and my experience has been very different. My director is AMAZING. She not only listens to me, but she actively seeks my input. I am an integral part of the Work Life team and a part of what makes this place great. Sorry, your boss wouldn't afford you time to participate in the stair climbs or other team building activities because WE are all a part of the Work Life department, it is important that we practice what we preach: maintaining a healthy work life balance. Obviously, you saw the merit in practicing healthy behaviors and participating in team building activities, since you wanted to be a part of it. It was only after you couldn’t participate did you decide to be a hater. Not cool! Because haters never prosper. Also it should be noted, that team activities are done during lunch time. And as far as the people that participate in the *15-minute* stair climbs, they either come in early, stay later, or shorten their lunch breaks. No one gets three lunch breaks a day, not here or anywhere! If you don't like your position change it! There is opportunity here, but you do have to get off your caboose to get it. So don't complain if you haven’t done anything! Also, the opportunities are not just in relation to professional development. I cannot count how many times I have spent time with upper management and other coworkers at the Bulls or Blackhawks games in the SKYBOX! Again, if you don't like your position, get a better one! If you don't like it here, no one is asking you to stay. The door swings both ways, you can always leave.
Cons
None from me. I am a happy camper.
