Pros

Great working environment Good Benefits Feel a sense of importance with my work Training is ample for those who seek it Lots of company investment in to the worker

Cons

It can be troublesome to move up in the company. Some jobs seem pegged for others before you even interview. Many higher up positions are not posted internally and are selected based on "who you know" . Not a lot of transparency with the process, one day someone becomes your boss without any idea that there was a position open for you to apply to.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
