Pros

- The individuals are nice enough to work with. - They are flexible with their hours and personal time off.

Cons

- If felt like, I imagine, working in a cave. The building was run down and had all sorts of issues. Even the light fixtures and sinks wouldn't work properly. - Management would give little respect to those working under them. - Many people were not qualified to work in their positions. - No "perks" and terrible benefits. - Little to no recognition given. - One person would be expected to do the work of an entire team. Meaning positions were not filled and people were over worked.

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
