Pros

The pay is very good, but a lot of time I just want to quit without notice, log off my computer and walk away

Cons

I work for a boss who clearly shows favoritism. She allows her pets to shrug off work, to jump the line in the call queue, so they dont ever have to take calls. And she acknowledges their birthdays with much fanfare, emojis and giffs on teams, while the rest of us, the "hoy paloy" (thats how it makes me feel) never get any recognition.. That is the worst part. Being openly ignored... Nothing makes you feel like you are worthless, than a boss who treats you like you are worthless..

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
