Culture needs to change, inexperienced management
Pros
Very few compared to previous places I’ve been. They have a pension, which is rare, and a selling point, but you have to be with the company four years and they make wanting to stay very difficult. I guess in a way you kind of get to make up your own job but that’s really not fun when you feel like your work is unappreciated.
Cons
Management is very inexperienced and only focused on managing up, not down, so employees below are struggling. Processes are loose and very disjointed. Shocking for a company of this size. Different departments are so siloed that it makes getting simple tasks done very difficult and time-consuming as you have to figure out who owns which process where and then convince that part of the company that your question is worth spending time on. Fellow employees are bullies and don’t try to work as a team because they are used to the culture and management is not changing it.
