Pros

Large corporation, name recognition within the Southeast.

Cons

The company is owned by a mega-billionaire whose father was a founding member of the John Birch society. That should tell you everything you need to know about the corporate culture being brought into GP since the takeover. When I was hired, lots of promises were made about "big bonuses". After I was hired, I was told I wouldn't be eligible for a bonus for at least 3 more years. And this happened to everyone else hired in my department during the same time.

Pros

Autonomy Remote work opportunities Decent Pay - only if you negotiate it

Cons

Zero training Poor leadership Lack of recognition Constant focus on “closing gaps” - you’ll spend all your time talking about less than 2% of revenue/profit Inconsistent bonus payouts with no metrics to understand how they arrive at a figure No clarity on how to achieve pay increases. Constant responsibilities added to your role that were not previously part of the role you were hired for.
