Pros

- Pay is ok - Benefits are good and cost are decent - Work duties are simple- low volumes, lots of problem solving, and projects

Cons

I was excited to take this job with an all woman team, and to learn from women in leadership roles. The excitement wore off fast. Sadly, the only thing I’ve learned is what NOT to do, who NOT to be, and what reputation NOT to have in the workplace. -Micromanaging is a major issue. Work is unchallenging. Management assigns busy work and mindless projects sometimes unrelated to treasury. - Lack of leadership- Management has little interest in sharing knowledge, mentoring, teaching skills, or developing employees. The focus is on controlling and nitpicking. If you want to learn anything new, you have to figure it out yourself. If you display newly learned knowledge, management will make you feel punished. -Management makes the job miserable. Too much of the days consist of listening to management constantly complain about everything from personal issues to body aches. Draining! - Extreme micromanagement (borderline harassment) makes it so there is no room to grow, be creative, or own your work. Pride in your work is met with retribution. - Management lacks confidence which leads to erratic behavior and an extremely toxic environment where employees keep records, notes, and recordings of interactions with management (class action lawsuit waiting to happen)

Pros

Flexible work environment - hybrid

Cons

Heavy workload, way below market compensation for the amount of responsibility, very limited advancement opportunities & uneven workload distribution among teams. In my experience, leadership made repeated statements about promotion opportunities in career growth that ultimately did not materialize. I felt that expectations were set that weren’t followed through on, which made it incredibly difficult to trust leadership. Transparency and follow through on career development could be significantly improved.
