Pros

Good benefits and a reasonable pay structure. Depending on your personal reporting structure you can do very well. I personally had a good work life balance and ealry in my career had good opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Because of the decentralized and autonomous nature of the business, there is not a good oversight of talent. Little opportunity to rise above your role with limited access to upper level managers. Immediate supervisor was a mico-manager. Very little ability to think on your own or "run your own business". Criteria for success was different depending on who you reported to. Company has a solid set of core values, but they are just words on a page when upper level managers do not live them.

Pros

Nurturing and instructing the people directly affected by me. I have encouraged growth and made a difference to the lives of my customers. I have improved the infrastructure and built a reasonably good team.

Cons

Management culture, here, is difficult. Because the vast majority of the workforce, particularly the management, have never known anything else, I rarely feel part of the "team".

Thank you very much for sharing your insight with us. I think it's fantastic that you've been able to improve the lives of others. In regards to your struggle with the culture, it sounds like you have the ability to nurture and connect with others, so I encourage you to use those interpersonal skills and get to know the teams' perspectives while also sharing yours, as someone who has differing experiences.
