Great Company, Still Some Opportunity

Operations manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Cohesive Strategy integrated throughout the company, Great Benefits (Profit Sharing = Awesome), Inclusive cultures, Opportunities to learn, development focused (employee coaching and development planning)

Cons

Hard to move into different functions even with development plan, Even with focus on leveraging experiences and backgrounds vs. previous positions/title/education and encouragement towards making problems visible the company is still very rigid and "old school" in some regard. I think this is also influenced by your direct leadership and which part of the company you work for in addition to a lot of tenured employees which is also a pro.
