Trying to move the future with old fashioned ideals

Analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The job security is great. The benefits are pretty good but starting to get quite expensive.

Cons

The last couple of years, things shifted to a stifling corporate environment. People left and the jobs were never filled, instead the work was spread to everyone else without any look at compensation. It’s nearly impossible to move up as a minority. Almost all of the leadership team at my facility was Caucasian and it was quite disheartening to be passed over for opportunities, especially from a company that preaches so much about inclusion.

Terrible culture Management is constantly micromanaging even work from home calling you any time of the day even at night when that’s not appropriate Also management doesn’t trust their employees even when you are doing a good job at work No opportunity to grow in the company No training you are on your own Don’t ask questions or you will get attitude from managers Not a welcoming place to work They treat you as a number and that’s it

Business Outlook

Pros

As a large company, there were good benefits and perks.

Cons

Management that's unwilling to foster career growth at the junior level. More importantly, they are very biased towards the stereotypical white frat boys and sorierty girls that come through the door at an alarming rate.
