      Pros

      Travel was nice, getting to work with people from various BU's and groups was nice. Projects were nice to work on. Very active in the community. Training was always nice, getting to learn more things that took place within the job.

      Cons

      Very Siloed when it came to working with other departments within St. Louis. The older workers were never approachable and would see interns/co-ops/younger workers as threats and never passed along knowledge to get them prepared for the coming job. Great place to work if you are ready to retire, not coming out of college. And projects came every 6 months and the other 6 months you were waiting on the "budget" to be approved.

      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.
