Pros

If you're a high performer and are able to keep your head above the water at all times, there are several opportunities available for internal movement and advancement.

Cons

There is constant restructuring within the company, largely aimed at improving short-term profitability for shareholders, often at the expense of capable and committed employees. While focusing on the bottom line is understandable, mass layoffs with same-day exits and no notice period are not the only or most effective way to achieve this. In the short term, the numbers may look strong. However, over the next two to three years, the ongoing talent drain and reduced operational capacity risk leaving too few people to execute projects, fulfill orders, and properly support customers.

Pros

I observed what appeared to be unequal treatment within several departments, particularly regarding advancement opportunities. In my experience, Black employees seemed to have fewer opportunities for promotion compared to their white peers. I believe the organization would benefit from a review of its promotion and advancement practices to ensure fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity for all employees.

Cons

Leadership should remember that every decision has consequences. As a person of faith, I believe God sees how people are treated, even when others do not. Organizations may be able to justify decisions on spreadsheets and quarterly reports, but there is a higher standard of accountability when it comes to fairness, integrity, and the treatment of employees. When talented people are undervalued, overlooked, or pushed out, the effects eventually reach the business itself. Product lines, innovation, customer satisfaction, and long-term growth are often the first areas impacted when organizations fail to recognize and retain the people who make success possible. Great companies are built by valuing talent, rewarding merit, and treating people with dignity and respect. When those principles are ignored, the consequences eventually become visible. Organizations that fail to recognize and retain talent risk losing the very people who drive innovation, customer success, and long-term growth. Go ahead and continue promoting friends, favorites, and personal relationships over true talent, technical expertise, and proven performance. Time has a way of revealing the consequences of those decisions.
