Pros
--Decent PTO allocation --Great colleagues on my current team
Cons
So many things have been taken away over the last 3 years that the job that I initially took with lower that average industry pay no longer has the "unseen perks" that kept employee retention high. --Out of pocket costs for insurance have doubled in the last 5 years. --Inability to host any after-work team collaboration events due to no budget allocation --Layoffs (that have been handled extremely poorly) have left those who stay overworked --Travel ban for employees unless the Senior Director or above level deems the travel "necessary". The last point there is probably the one that bothers me the worst due to the absolute hypocrisy in that policy. Last year, Sales employees who met sales quotas set for them were eligible for the Pinnacle trip rewarding them for exceeding expectations relating to their quota. However, there were more employees who attained this reward than there were spots for the trip, so employees were left out who met the threshold. To put the icing on the cake on this situation, the CEO and other C-Level leaders all took the trip (taking some of those spots), even though the stock price dropped ~22% in 2024. On top of that, employees still had the travel ban in place, meaning that actual work items that would benefit from bringing in some remote employees back from time to time were not allowed during this same time period. This look is the absolute FURTHEST thing from being ok. To note, I am not in sales--this bothers others who are not even eligible for the Pinnacle trip. The tens of thousands of dollars spent to "reward" the C-Level team and allow them to travel for the bottom falling out of our company's value (numerical and morale value) is NOT a good look.
