Pros

Great brands Good benefits Great co-workers Orlando a nice location Challenging job assignments

Cons

Senior HR Leaders--not productive, not trustworthy (integrity is questioned), EVP of HR for Darden has an agenda that is supported by other executive team leaders for fear of reprisal, and to be amongst favorites (required for promotions.) Corporate HR isn't employee friendly nor interested in valuing career aspirations nor contributions.
