Respect for work life balance but lack of diversity

Business Outlook

Pros

employees are respectful and there is healthy environment for life outside of work. lots of employee appreciation events and celebrations for major media events, i.e. Olympics, Wicked premiere, etc. many employees who are well above 15+ years in tenure with depth of knowledge, with flexible growth opportunities across and above.

Cons

although there are many DEI-related events hosted for employees, the employee pool itself lacks diversity in demographics.
