Business Outlook
Pros
In many corporate jobs, there is the ability to evolve your job around your strengths. Relationship-driven culture, family-like feeling, recognition for work well-done. Team-driven work environment, brainstorming and collaboration is valued. Willingness to promote from within. Great education benefits.
Cons
Lots of old-timers are in roles they are underqualified for, and have a surprising amount of power to squash innovation. Have to be patient and creative in working around red tape and politics to get anything done. Low salaries and minimal to non-existent yearly merit increases. Only way to get salary up to market value is to secure an external offer and threaten to leave.
