OpCos Aren't All the Same

Global marketing communications manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are amazing, people are very dedicated to continuous growth, the FBS tools are great to learn and use, and there is room for advancement. They also have a very strong focus on diversity and inclusion, which is great!

Cons

Some opcos are clearly favored in terms of salaries and favoritism in company-wide events and even pay raises. Leadership changed remote workers contracts to require hybrid or in-office in early 2023, and if they didn't accept, they were fired - completely destroyed my trust in any promises from leadership after that. Pay raises are minimal - barely keeps up with inflation. Don't expect to stay here more than a few years if you want to see your salary grow.

Business Outlook

Pros

A blameless culture that rewards high performers with amazing leadership authenticity and humility at the Corporate level. If you're a resilient problem solver who can handle high pressure situations and ambiguity then you'll go far here.

Cons

Workload not managed well, no FBS tools for managing resources (that's in direct conflict with stated values about building extraordinary teams). FBS can't be the only answer - FBS leadership needs to recognize the value of what other companies are doing well and swallow that they must adapt.
