Pros
They are an established business.
Cons
Leadership is disconnected from both employees and day-to-day business operations. Decisions are often made without sufficient understanding of how they affect employees, morale, or operational effectiveness. During my tenure, the HR department expanded significantly while employees were told there was limited budget available for raises and benefits, including significant reductions to vacation time. The CHRO is unethical and greatly contributes to the toxic work environment.
Communication and accountability are ongoing challenges. Important concerns are not always addressed, and employees may feel discouraged from providing candid feedback or identifying problems. In my experience, reporting misconduct or raising concerns resulted in negative consequences rather than constructive resolution.
The organization tends to rely heavily on external consultants while often overlooking the expertise and recommendations of internal employees who understand the business and its challenges firsthand. There appears to be resistance to change, and efforts to improve processes or introduce new ideas are frequently met with indifference.
Management effectiveness varies significantly. In one instance, I had a direct supervisor who did not communicate with me for over a year, making it difficult to receive guidance, feedback, or support.
