Stable job with great work environment / culture, but severely lacking in growth opportunities
Pros
Job stability Great work environment Positive culture Good benefits package Flexibility
Cons
Severely lacking in growth opportunities for employees Lots of miscommunication between departments / up & down the food chain that leads to employee confusion / frustration High attrition rate - employees leaving left and right (a lot of times it's the more experienced people who feel under-appreciated / under-valued) Poor on-boarding / internal training processes - employees are not given the resources they need post-hire to succeed and grow Management doesn't listen to employee requests / recommendations / ideas Taking initiative, trying to prove yourself, and going the extra mile probably won't get you noticed / promoted - it'll likely just mean more and more gets added to your plate "Unlimited" time off (DTO) isn't really unlimited - your manager will reference how much time you've already taken off in the calendar year (regardless of your work performance) and reprimand you / deny requests depending on their need for employees to be at work (often times in the most common times of year to take vacation - ex. Spring, Summer, holidays...) Compensation rates / job titles have too much variation among employees with essentially the same roles & responsibilities Career path / growth chart makes no sense and you aren't really given the tools / advice needed to take the next steps towards getting promoted
