Pros

Being in finance I get a lot of exposure that I simply probably wouldn't see at other companies. I interact daily with the CFO as a entry level analyst and constant support of president and other VPs. I think the experience here early in my career will be extremely beneficial later on. Job security is another plus.

Cons

Old school company, pay below average.. Don't ever expect more than 5% raises and 2-3% for annual increases. Frustrating knowing I could switch companies and make substantially more.

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.
