      Pros

      The flight benefits are nice, if you can use them. Flights are full and non-represented employees have little to no flexibility to travel. Employees are amazing! The friendships are what kept me here for so long. Upper level leadership is inspiring.

      Cons

      The pay is way below market--no amount of "free" flight benefits could make up the difference HR leadership is made of up a clique of people promoted into HR who are not qualified in terms of experience or education--if you are an HR professional, this will not be a good fit for you! HR cannot manage or lead its own team and fails to provide good consultation to company leaders.

      Pros

      Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

      Cons

      Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
