Pros

Very generous compensation package which is difficult to match. Top paying employer across all functions in STL market. Same for paid time off (sick, parental, vacation) - very generous and generally flexible. RTO of 3 days is still mild compared to other employers

Cons

Politics out of control. Favoritism and hitting budgets reign supreme. Hubs and regions completely siloed from Corporate. Shared services center has lost multiple female leaders in past 12-18 mos. and completely overworks the teams with inadequate resources and tools.
