Pros

The future outlook on the company is strong and stable. The opportunities for growth and advancement are apparent and encouraged. The quality of leadership on a local level is very strong. Employee salaries are competitive with the market.

Cons

It's hard to identify the cons but I would have to say that the fact that we are a lean organization creates a more challenging environment than perhaps others may experience. Overall, this means even more opportunity to get involved in several areas of the company.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
