Pros

The exposure to many people that live across the globe. The management has an open door policy. Great emphasis is placed on employee engagement and development. The benefits are excellent and there is a full gym on site. Lateral moves within the department are easily granted. Cross training is a normal practice which gives you a wealth of knowledge about all processes of the department.

Cons

Qualified minorities (African American) are routinely denied promotions; while their non-black counterparts are awarded the position with less education and/or experience. Company gravitates toward mentoring non-black employees while often ignoring African Americans. File a grievance with HR and the paper trail will commence. You will become a target for termination.

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
