Business outlook
Pros
*work life balance in some roles *One of the best pay for HR folks. HR is the most powerful function in this company. They benchmark their salaries to highest levels of industry. *Job stability. If you are not ambitious, you can keep doing the same job for 20 years. They wont fire you. * No up or out policy. No forced curve fitting.
Cons
*Poor pay for internal promotions and level if you are below director level. *Prefers to hire external candidates at higher pay than promote capable internal candidates with similar raises. *Very Frugal employer- Corporate office is pathetic; Pittsburgh office is newly built and represents the legacy of Fisher Scientific.
