Pros

Good pay, exceptional benefits, good continuing education opportunities, live anywhere and work remote, can stay in a role as long as you like because not an up-or-out workplace, diverse and responsive C-suite with good strategic vision and servant-style leadership, company-wide corporate trip

Cons

Lack of standardization and innovation, middle management does not take feedback from below, C-suite can be disconnected from day-to-day, middle management does not emulate the C-suite's leadership style or vision, when things get busy they get far too busy, popularity contest for opportunities and advancement, only hear from management team for critiques.

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Cons

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
