Pros

- Smart people in the staff ranks who want to do good work - Competitive pay and benefits

Cons

- Arrogant, self-serving executive leaders with questionable qualifications—turf wars put staff in the middle, cause delays, lead to project failures - Odd focus on promoting CEO over organization - Little respect shown staff by leadership; obvious favoritism, even with awards program - Too much authority given to Brand/Marketing leaders, who ignore what business managers know about their customers and products - Fear-driven culture, because of micro-management and criticism of those with different (or new) ideas or experiences that challenge executive leaders - Dated technology; even "new" website doesn't support business needs (maybe because no one asked what we need on the business side) - Unsupportive HR that is more concerned about protecting the company than helping the staff

Great company, great leadership, very clear strategy and a very passionate community.

Not many cons, maybe disorganized sometimes. Too many internal meetings.

Pros

Remote work, but that is really it.

Cons

Compensation used to be competitive, but workload, expectations and initiatives have increased, Everyone is being asked to do more, and work harder with the same resources with no consideration for fair pay. Senior leaders are well aware of how they are perceived, but choose to do nothing, or simply say they are working on fixing things, with no tangible efforts seen. Our CEO is running the reputation, culture, and company into the ground for the sake of revenue. Him and his executive team are known bullies, and even though this has been complained about by so many of us, even to HR, nothing is ever done about it. We NEED board intervention. Just take a look at PMI's ratings. Even with the reviews obviously crafted and directed by internal leaders to try and suppress negative reviews. I will also add that career growth is non-existent, and the determined best fix for these concerns was training telling employees its their problem to figure out. Really makes us feel valued.
