Flexible schedules? We totally agree that this is PRO! Most of our associates are fans of schedule flexibility and the bonus program!! Sorry to hear that you don't love goal setting - We think they helps keep us all rowing in the same direction. MOVING ON UP: If you're interested, you should check out the Development Community (the Teams group shares open roles, training and events, leadership training, etc.) and you can also find out details on our internal InView page re: Stretch Assignments (to learn skills in another dept for part of your work week), Apprenticeships (where you can "try on" another job for a few months in another dept), free access to LinkedIn Learning to take some classes, Tuition reimbursement for college classes, and we even have functional job training classes in Career Destinations (for things like Data Analysis, Financial Fluency, Product Management, etc.). There are LOTS of ways to MOVE UP within the organization. If you need some personalized recommendations, reach out to a member of HR and we can provide guidance on where to start. :) Thanks for sticking with us for 6+ years!

Pros

Offers great work like balance. Great benefits.

Cons

Limited promotion opportunities depending on department. Company seems to be headed in a direction they’ll be having another mass layoff to expand global partnerships which is causing a lot of worry for US employees.

Pros

There are some really great and knowledgeable people to work with and learn from and most...most are cooperative and helpful. I DID have a few wonderful supervisors who really helped me learn and progress

Cons

The previous post couldn't have said it better. Leadership is completely out of touch and does little to help anyone and is there to serve correctives. And once you hit one like that and you don't mesh..they will look for ways to get people out that they seem a threat..bc they ARE helpful.
