Pros

Plenty to do, most days too much

Cons

No quality of life, working seven days a week just to keep your head above water. No room to delegate because everyone’s plate is overflowing.

Trimming the "fat" but avoiding the fact that it's leadership that has lost the vision.

Pros

Great people. Formally fantastic culture. Good Benefits. Hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Lack of vision. Changes and restructures every year. Poorly managed lay-offs. Sr Leadership is out of touch. The changes recently may be transformative but they are at the expense of talent development, employee well-being, and culture. Economic benefits will be temporary, the lack of focus on talent will result in diminished revenue in the future. High performers are not compensated but rewarded with the work of other low performers.
