Pros

Having been here a while, the best I can say is free lunches 2x weekly (pre-covid), coffee & snacks. And a paycheck but that's about it, sadly.

Cons

Not many good managers or upper leadership. Lots of power games & politics even with the new leadership. The new leadership brought in his own group of people and pushed everyone out. But cronyism still abounds with the new folks and remaining old guard. If you don't play the game and measure up as someone they think is worthy of promoting, you will get passed over and over until you either just believe them and think you have no value, or finally get fed up and leave. Not many people of color or LGBTQ, with the exception of a few they "highlight" to make sure people think they are woke. They aren't. The company has had it's heyday many years ago and will never be that again. Honestly, don't t bother.

Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
