Pros

- strong purpose and brand alignment - exposure to complex, high visibility projects - cross-functional collaboration opportunities - leadership structure that allows access (transparency is critical for me)

Cons

- high complexity with limited authority (being accountable without full decision-making power) - cross-functional collaboration with teams that don't report directly to you, lessens ability to hold people accountable - operational pressure + innovation at the same time - ambiguity in role scope and longevity - emotional labor of hospitality work

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
