Pros

- WFH 2 days/week. - No other pros.

Cons

- Can be successfully performing work for a role and still be told you are not eligible for the role due to a lack of external education. If you pursue that education, there is no guarantee that you will be moved into that role. - Colleagues have pursued and paid for education for an official move into a role that they are already doing and their move-over has been denied by HR and their education not fully reimbursed. - Managers are deeply protected by HR and corporate. Multiple complaints about a toxic workplace/lack of support and lack of employee retention gets put against the employees of the department instead of the manager. - If you are hired, expect anyone in your role who is new and hired later on to be paid more than you. If you request to be paid equally to the new hire, you may be told that your experience (even in-house experience) does not add up to their external experience/external education. - Raises are only 2-5% a year, if even. No year-end bonuses for anyone outside of upper-management. - No transparency on what's required to be promoted/receive a greater wage. - High turnover even in the HR department due to the culture of the company. - Some managers are very strict on the in-office 3 days a week policy to the point where they expect you to drive in on blizzarding snow days instead of just WFH. You may also be reported to HR for not having enough in-office days. If you have appointments, you may even get in trouble for having them on in-office days.
