Want you to pay it forward...so you do...and it doesn't come back

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Let you take time if when needed. Good benefits package.

Cons

You pay it forward, then they don't compensate. They promote based on a "good 'ole boy" system. If you get in with the right clique, you will be promoted. However, expect your manager to resent you if you decide to move on to a better job outside his/her department. They put out a yearly employee feedback survey. If you answer with anything other than positive, they will try and "weed" you out, because a manager's performance review is based on his/her survey scores. Also, the manager expects his/her team to develop ways to bring up the scores, The survey is pointless.

Business Outlook

Pros

The first and most important reason is the work culture and freedom to employees to take informed decisions.

Cons

Sometimes I feel that it becomes more important to show your work rather than actually doing it.
