Pros

flex pto and coworkers are great for the most part. Trying to change the company vision and morale with dare to lead and now offering standard annual raises which were unheard of for years.

Cons

Too much change too fast. Changing so fast it can't be changed right, and they want to change all the things right now, with plenty of things missed, and unreasonable timelines. The expectation is to complete it regardless. Processes are constantly changing and people can't remember how or what to do. Do more with less and the stop lists are a joke. Nothing gets stopped they just lay people off or not back fill and expect the same work of the people that are left.

Pros

work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

Cons

No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
