Pros
* Some great people work here but not enough to make a difference * Hybrid/Remote options * Better than average work/life balance
Cons
* Generally poor benefits * Small bonus + small salary raise every year does not keep up with inflation * Told there is no budget for training. No opportunity for career development * HR works for the Friends' Club, does not work for employees. I wouldn't dare complain to upper management or HR about anything or I'll most likely be writing my ticket out. I do not perceive any employee loyalty * Heavy at the top, lower-level employees do not participate in Management meetings or roundtables with senior leaders *Senior leaders are detached from reality and delegate almost all responsibilities to middle managers *Middle managers are allowed to abuse their power and mistreat direct reports *Plenty of waste everywhere you look *Improvisation, on-the-job training, mediocrity, and chaos are rampant *Sycophants and dumb people abound. They make the Friends' Club members laugh, lift their ego, feel smarter, etc. and therefore are allowed to continue on impacting productivity/efficiency
