Pros

-Best work/life balance of any position. Your time away from the office is yours. -Meditation rooms are available for use -Overall peaceful/spa-like atmosphere but not much energy/excitement -Generous vacation time -Great healthcare & benefits

Cons

-No work from home options, even if you live far away/on bad weather days -Very heavy politics internally -Bullying and aggression occurs from some middle management (and is excused because it's referred to as a management "style"). Turnover rate is high in this dept., so the "style" doesn't seem to be working. HR has unfortunately overlooked it multiple times. -No room for growth or mentorship -Departments work in silos and there is no process; would suggest project management overall and traffic managers -Even when salaried, you're made to clock in/out daily--not used as a time tracker to measure efficiency, comes off as very distrusting towards employees
