      Pros

      It is difficult to think of any pros in the current situation. Please read further to see why I believe this.

      Cons

      I believe the relationship between senior leadership who started in 2014 and Firecrest staff has now irreparably broken down. I believe their incompetent management means a once great company is now in rapid and terminal decline. I believe the culture of dishonesty, lack of integrity, and disrespect for people they have brought are fundamentally at odds with the Firecrest one for all spirit. I believe that the majority of my colleagues feel the same.

      Pros

      Good medical benefits and time off.

      Cons

      My annual performance review literally said "No areas requiring improvement noted" with positive, raving reviews from CTMs and site staff. No promotion as discussed with line manager, minimal "merit" increase, and minimal performance bonus. Apparently, "performance bonus" is tied to seniority, which takes away any new employees' motivation to perform above and beyond. Very little resources, no support the company or management. Travel policy is awful- $150 hotel cap and $50 meal cap per day, regardless of working location. Talk of per diem has been in the works for 1.5 years I was there. Still no sign of implementation.
