Pros

Acquisitions of smaller organisations every month shows a relentless desire to grow. Strives to be market leader in every sector they operate in. This can lead to the opportunity to work around the world on 3 year postings, gaining knowledge and experience along the way. Good company for a short term CV builder, but I doubt you will stay there much longer.

Cons

If your company is acquired, you will be assimilated into the AC way. It has worked for them, so why change? Ultimately this will lead to your company becoming little more than a brand in the AC portfolio. They promote from within the existing empire and will use their proven model regardless of how innovative yours might have been. Management is distant, detached and disengaged from the workforce, heavily driven by numbers.

Pros

Good company, good culture overall

Cons

Pay could be less than the market, though not too low. Work life balance does cover some of that gap

Pros

Coworkers are great Many problems so you stay busy as a CI person The people at the worker bee level are the only real pro

Cons

Managers are too “wise” You can’t change anything inside the ERP but they all want ERP changes (it’s bad you will get frustrated) Super decentralized meaning all building operate how they want to. They make it sound like a strength but it’s literally their biggest weakness. Managers do not understand processes USZ or the NSC in Charlotte has a serious issue of hiring people who are not qualified for manager roles as managers. Discrimination They care more about how you look and not so much about the work you produce
