      Pros

      There are no pros to exploiting humans.

      Cons

      CEO is invisible to employees. Lack of transparency from new owners. Non-existent work-life balance. Toxic long term employees who are ruthless, play favoritism, act self-serving, and are dishonest. The discretionary PTO is laughable. The workload is tremendously heavy. It is impossible to take PTO. Working 65/hours week is standard. Requests for project support are ignored (or worse, you are told that you are the problem, not the workload. Nope. It is 100% related to layoffs and redistribution of work). The new ownership turned a demanding CRO environment into a merciless workplace with increased in-fighting, and decrease in quality. Prediction: repeat business will drastically decline. More lay-offs. Private equity firms dump company. Then, on the way out the c-suite makes big $$$$ on the backs of the operational teams who worked very long and stressful hours to deliver for the clients.

      Pros

      Peers, some management styles, discretionary PTO,

      Cons

      No movement unless it benefits the company, period. Promotion approved and pending for several months is unacceptable. Loyalty means nothing. Good employees leaving all the time. Hiring of green employees at your same level. CEO asks for ideas yet zero support for needed changes. Mgmt takes credit for your skill/knowledge/resolutions. Zero bonus, zero spotlight points, zero sense of performance appraisal process bc it does nothing. Create your own comraderie bc it’s every dept for himself.

      Used to be a good place to work. Ruined by poor leadership

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO when you have time to take off.

      Cons

      Another year with no bonuses despite the fact that our CEO told investors on the last earnings call that the bonus pool would be funded. Great for retention in a company that can barely retain employees. But, our leadership team of 150 people took had a nice week in West Palm Beach in January on a leadership summit where they had the finest meals with open bars all 4 days. Why not have the summit in the underutilized Raleigh HQ instead of spending money we clearly do not have?! We have been expected to do more than less for the last 3 years and our bonuses have never been fully funded. Absolute definition of poor leadership.
