Pros
* I still get a paycheck * A lot of my coworkers are nice people * I've been given a lot of responsibility * There's still some 401(k) match * Employees in senior positions are eligible for annual cash bonuses and stock (RSU) bonuses * "Diversity is a top priority" * Oil prices are finally on the rise, so maybe things will get better... ?
Cons
* The responsibilities increased because I'm now performing additional duties of two other employees who are no longer with Rowan * No title or compensation change accompanied the additional responsibilities * Management and career development are SEVERELY lacking * After 4 years with no pay change, I finally got a small raise this year... only to have it clawed back when the company announced an end to the pension program (5% of pay) AND a reduction in the 401(k) match (now a 5% match instead of 6%) * There are limited opportunities for advancement * The available opportunities tend to be awarded to white men, especially those who have a social or family connection to the (current or former) CEO * Although I believe it's subconscious, there is a bias towards hiring & promoting men. Despite all the talk and goals to the contrary, it doesn't feel like diversity is actually a priority. * Employees in junior technical roles and support staff roles do not qualify for any sort of bonus * We're strongly discouraged from discussing compensation and benefits. Presumably this is because there are massive discrepancies among people in similar positions. * CEO is streamlining the company, but at the cost of employee morale. -Will there be more layoffs? -Will we have more benefits reduced? -Will I ever get considered for a promotion? -Is the guy with the same title & experience as me really making as much money as the anonymous reports on Glassdoor (because I'm making about 35% less than that!)? -Are the rumors about moving to a PTO model accurate (a reduction in total paid days off)?
