Pros

Pay was decent, promises of growth, share price to rise

Cons

The company appears to be under a cloud of toxic behaviours from all areas, seems to stem from a few of the C-Suite down to VP, Directors and managers worldwide. Friends have been hired in all levels, gossiping is frequent and as a result employees are all walking on eggshells otherwise they risk getting fired for "cost saving" purposes. If you have different veiws like on route to market than some of the legacy people then your pretty much done within 1yr. Large reduction of HC was done in Q1 23 and the feedback from those affected was just horrifying how they where treated after years of service.

Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
