Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Very kind people at associate level. - Internal mobility easier in some divisions.

Cons

- Underpaid compared to rest of industry and little remote work opportunity to make up for it. Why stay when you can go elsewhere and get extra pay, PTO that accrues annually instead of every 5 years, and more remote days? - No rush to fill vacant roles, meaning most of the work gets dumped on those at the bottom of the chain. - Systems are SEVERELY behind and a lot of work has to be done manually. - Few learning opportunities and incentives for talent to stay. You can seek it out if someone is willing to take you under their wing, but there were no formal programs other than leaders in training and stuff for managers. - Multiple rounds of layoffs/reorg lowered morale severely.
