Pros

- Excellent place to start and learn - Strong core values and culture - Everything is very polished - Benefits are actually good; bonuses are fair

Cons

-High attrition right now; my team of 11 is now a team of 7, notably the Director left; PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY and you can feel it when you're in the office. -Way underpaid (about 30% less than market); I tried to renegotiate my salary multiple times without success, even with highest marks and a consistently successful track record; Management is more worried about saving money than paying fairly; unfortunately, they will use core values as a way to get around conversations about pay (Money and Numbers Follow; They Do Not Lead). If only they practiced what they preached-- pay your people fairly. -More office politics than they admit; "team members" feel more like numbers and employees, doesn't matter how they try to market it -Management has lost touch with their employees; the CEO constantly paints a positive picture while hiding all the negatives and not addressing real concerns; they pitched a highly selective leadership academy as way to retain talent instead of more flexible work schedules/work-from-home opportunities or fair pay. Why would you want to be a leader in an organization that doesn't actually care for their team members first? -Always faced headwinds during internal transferring; wasn't as easy as they tell you with leaders playing politics to keep you on their team as long as they can, preventing YOU from receiving your pay raise that came with the new position. I waited months and lost thousands of dollars in compensation because of this. Once again, they don't put their team members first.
