Pros

Very large corporation with a lot of money to buy small companies and turn them into big money making companies. They are willing to spend a lot of money and try to make back their investment in a short time as they have to answer to shareholders about their decisions and outcomes.

Cons

The corporation is very erogant due to it's size and money. That makes them think that they know everything about all industries and recklessly place leaders that are very unfamiliar with the product and expect them to master very specialized and unique products in months. Not understanding that it takes years to begin to understand and 8 to 10 years to master. And they will not hesitate to ruin countless lives and carriers by closing down companies they can't turn into money making companies because they can't understand or master the product.

Pros

Good company, good culture overall

Cons

Pay could be less than the market, though not too low. Work life balance does cover some of that gap

Pros

Coworkers are great Many problems so you stay busy as a CI person The people at the worker bee level are the only real pro

Cons

Managers are too “wise” You can’t change anything inside the ERP but they all want ERP changes (it’s bad you will get frustrated) Super decentralized meaning all building operate how they want to. They make it sound like a strength but it’s literally their biggest weakness. Managers do not understand processes USZ or the NSC in Charlotte has a serious issue of hiring people who are not qualified for manager roles as managers. Discrimination They care more about how you look and not so much about the work you produce
