Pros
Lots of work. Late nights. Unpaid overtime.
Cons
You and every other person on your team at your level are paid the same. Im seeing it first hand as a manager. Am shocked. Employees who work extra hard, go above and beyond, demonstrate leadership, take on harder work, bigger jobs and difficult tasks etc get paid exactly the same as those who don’t. Save yourself the stress and stop killing yourself for this company. I’m telling you first hand IT ISN’T WORKING IN YOUR FAVOR. SLT and directors will not waiver regardless of how hard managers fight to get their employees fair compensation. Negotiate your salary, bonus and signing bonus HARD upfront, stick around 12-18 mos and then leave. This place will not value your contributions especially if you are of the non-male gender identity. They’ll throw some warm fuzzy diversity, collaboration and “ethics” buzzwords at you to appease general workforce. I am so disgusted by how directors and executives (the ones who can approve salaries and benefits) treat Band 4 employees and below, especially in the department I now manage. Oh! And the benefits they offer their own employees are more expensive and weaker than market because we do not compete with ourselves. If you work at Cigna and have Cigna insurance you are literally overpaying. We are forced to overpay for our own insurance.
