Pros

Development of the team and ensuring that you are constantly growing in every position. I have grown a lot here.

Cons

Promotional opportunities are there but you have to be on the right side of the upper management to get these promotions. You are moved by everyone else's opinions versus applying for positions.

Pros

The headquarters has a relatively young population. This created a fun work environment. The company also respected its employees. There was very flexible work arrangements for people with families. Though I didn´t have a family, I was happy my co-workers had the ability to shuffle work around daycare and child illnesses.

Cons

The company made more decisions based off of intuition than off of analytics. I feel this is changing with the new CEO, Steinhafel, but it still surprised me how often sound suggestions would be completely rejected because of a manager´s feelings. I would regularly receive feedback that I couldn´t use basic statistics in explaining my rationale for a business idea. The company has a warped perspective of diversity. Managers are incentivized to retain and to build diverse teams. However, when I pressed for HR´s definition of diverse, they said that it was purely skin deep. To be diverse, you have to be non-white. Prior to recession, the company spent money like it was going out of style. The recession was probably a good thing because it created a reality check for upper management.
