Pros

The benefits and compensation are excellent. Great health insurance options, unlimited vacation, depending on where you are in the world you work from home or hybrid is still a thing. Also pretty robust marketing budgets, and used to be pretty well staffed.

Cons

There are some good people there but overall it’s a pretty toxic work environment. Executive leadership has unrealistic expectations, and then they are rude and disrespectful to you if you don’t meet them. If you do by some miracle meet goals there is no acknowledgment of it by leadership. Death by meeting is rampant. Expect no less than 5 meetings per day and not much time to do your work. Also efforts toward diversity and inclusion are a joke. They just laid off 75% of the diversity on their marketing team.

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.
