Pros

Decent pay and work-life balance.

Cons

Conflicting messages from leadership. There is strong emphasis placed on creating mutually beneficial outcomes for customers, yet many recent cost-cutting initiatives directly undermine the value being delivered. For example, removing company cell phones for customer-facing employees may improve short-term profitability, but likely at the expense of long-term customer service and employee effectiveness. Compensation is another challenge, as raises are difficult to obtain and there are no automatic annual increases to help offset inflation.

Pros

Great benefits and pay including 401K match. Leadership seems to listen if people speak up. Safety culture is above and beyond any other place I have worked.

Cons

One year will be spend like crazy and the next will be feast or famine. Need to learn these cycles and even out so it's not so cyclical.

Pros

Autonomy Remote work opportunities Decent Pay - only if you negotiate it

Cons

Zero training Poor leadership Lack of recognition Constant focus on “closing gaps” - you’ll spend all your time talking about less than 2% of revenue/profit Inconsistent bonus payouts with no metrics to understand how they arrive at a figure No clarity on how to achieve pay increases. Constant responsibilities added to your role that were not previously part of the role you were hired for.
