Pros

Great benefits, proud brand, company executives truly want to make company a great place to work. Conservative approach to financial management allowed the company to survive many downturns and thrive today.

Cons

Too little support for back office technology. Corporate manager-level positions are expected to do administrative clerical work as many clerical positions have been eliminated over the past 15 years. Little attention to documenting tribal knowledge when long time employees leave.

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 Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles.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 The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with.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.
