Epitome of corporate dishonesty and greed

Pros

* tolerable placeholder while looking for a better job * relatively good work/life balance (though this varies wildly by team so your results may vary)

Cons

* anti-remote attitude from CEO... * ...yet, selectively hire some people fully remote while expecting other people to work in office, and when pressed for criteria on how these decisions are made, get non-answer spin from HR * pays far below market rate - don't expect an annual increase nor a bonus * if you are a woman, you will not get above middle management * pathetic covid response - only did the minimum to look like the org was concerned, while repeating "we are following CDC guidelines" over and over so it appeared they care * used to do feedback surveys but Choice stopped doing them because they didn't like the negative feedback - and when employees in exit reviews give honest reasons for why they're leaving, HR gets angry and defensive * no WFH stipend - your phone, internet, furniture, all WFH expenses are 100% on you

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We're sorry to hear your expectations were not met. Choice’s work-from-home policy depends on your role and the department you work for. Choice recognizes the importance of work-life balance and, therefore, offers telecommuting, in its sole discretion, as a viable work alternative. We value your thoughts and feedback and will share them with the HR and executive leadership.

Pros

Good work life balance (depending on the team you're working for)

Cons

Extreme favoritism. Don't take my word for it, go ahead and do your research and count the number Directors and Senior Directors that are from a Chicago based airline company. Also, while you're at it, check if you see the same background in the C Suite. That basically tells you what's going on there.

Pros

Benefits, office and location, hotel discounts, technology

Cons

Management is constantly reorganizing and eliminating positions or whole entire teams only to rehire months later. The door is constantly swinging.
