Pros

Benefits, schedule, kind co-workers, newer offices.

Cons

There is more work than ever and no additional head count. The pay is also low. FM forced employees back into the office with a hybrid schedule and vaccine mandate with no option to mask/test. The company does not seem to care that most employees do not wish to be back in the office. They've become vague about the "future of work" and pushed back the release of additional information about possible work schedules (WFH or fully remote etc) for 3 quarters now. They will lose top talent due to their inflexibility on fully remote working.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
