Pros
Nice amount of vaction, even when starting. There are a few other nice perks the company offers, like free membership at a children's museum. Lots of smart, nice co-workers. It's a good place to gain a perspective on what type of boss you don't want to be or work for.
Cons
I worked at Skyward for many years and in a few departments. I had the chance to talk to a lot of people. I met one person who enjoyed working there. One person. Look up toxic work environment - that's skyward. Lower management is there to monitor you. As a salaried employee, I'd be reprimanded for working anything less than 40 hours/week. I'd be reprimanded for emailing someone incorrectly. I'd be reprimanded for contacting HR. I felt like I was constantly in trouble, and I've never before or since felt this way anywhere I've worked. Even if you are exceptionally lucky and get a good supervisor, they have no authority other than to monitor you. It's insanely stressful. If you have a bad manager, don't even try to seek help. Managers are rarely demoted, no matter how high the turnover is in their department. I had 2 horrible managers who regularly had their staff in tears. Nepotism As a family - run company, nepotism is a way of life at Skyward. Its not exclusively King family, the nepotism includes siblings, children, and friends of the non-King VPs. Children of VPs get internships, their pick of jobs, better treatment, and advancement in the company. It's incredibly frustrating and unfair. And it's terrible for the company as there are people in management positions (due to who they are related to or are friends with) who have no right to be there, and they often make costly mistakes.
