Pros
Company values developing employees professionally and promoting from within. Regular 1 on 1’s with management and quarterly reviews are used to ensure you are staying on track towards your goals in your current role and future career goals. You will get opportunities to be exposed to very different projects, be afforded training in new skills, and company will send you to courses and workshops to assist with gaining certifications that benefit both parties.
Cons
Employees are not always aware of the professional development opportunities. Some managers do not make it a point to encourage employees to discuss their career goals, with the assumption that the employees will be the ones to broach the topic. This leaves the more reserved less aggressive employee feeling as of there is no room for growth, feeling unappreciated and stuck in their role.
