Pros

leader in the industry, learned a ton, great work family

Cons

Don't expect your annual raise to be more than half a percent above inflation. There are more VPs than are needed and several really should be a director. It is a constant battle of cost containment and the first place costs are contained is SG&A which includes salaries Location sucks. If you want a decent selection of restaurants or school systems it means commuting to work.

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.
