Pros

The only pro I can think of is the "potential" this company has, but am quickly reminded that the potential is useless when you promote the wrong people and when don't listen to your employees. The company does have great leaders in the company, but HR is not one of those departments. My experience would of been different, but the HR department continued to show their true colors as people resigned from this department. No outreach from upper management, poor responses, moving people in the wrong roles, etc. loved servicing the business, but wasn't worth the headache from HR leaders.

Cons

Poor leadership and execution in the HR Department. Good talent being wasted and a continuous exodus due to poor leadership. Wrong people getting promoted. The wrong employees getting praise for doing nothing...

Pros

Career Stability: The company offers a strong sense of job security, which has allowed me to build a long-term career without constant uncertainty. Opportunities to Grow: I have been able to advance my career over time and take on increasing responsibilities, gaining valuable skills along the way. Supportive Team Environment: Many colleagues are collaborative, knowledgeable, and willing to help, which creates a positive day-to-day work atmosphere. Industry Experience: Working here has provided deep insight into the industry and allowed me to build expertise that would be difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Cons

Slow Advancement Pace: While I have progressed, the pace of advancement has been slower than I initially expected or desired. Career growth can sometimes feel limited or dependent on timing rather than performance. Limited Recognition at Times: Efforts and long-term contributions don’t always feel fully recognized or rewarded proportionally. Bureaucracy: Decision-making processes can be slow, which can hinder innovation and momentum. Compensation Growth: In some cases, compensation hasn’t kept up with the level of responsibility or tenure.

Pros

I don't really see any pros after reading reviews.

Cons

Poor, indirect communication. First contact was a recording. The second contact was another recording. They requested that I dress professionally for a zoom call, which I did consider. However, after researching the company, I am convinced that this is not a supportive environment.
