Pros
BICSI has a dedicated, energetic, and motivating workforce. The team really pulls together.
Cons
None. For some, Florida will be a negative.
Pros
PTO accrual rate was fantastic.
Cons
Where to start? Too many high-level roles (I.e., CIO, CEO, COO, CFO, VPs, General Counsel, Directors, Supervisors, Managers, and unlimited “consultants”) compared to the “regular” staff working their butts off daily. Many of the individuals in the high level roles are clueless on how the outcome or an impact is achieved by the staff actually doing the work. Departments are pitted against one another based on issues the aforementioned high-level roles are having with a same level peer in another department. Unrealistic deadlines are constant which impact QC of new products and services, Inflexibility and inconsistency with the required return to office policy. Salaries are low unless you have a CEO, CIO, CFO, COO, VP or Director title. Rare to no cost of living increases. Annual merit increases are predetermined by leadership for all staff pre-review, and NOT based on hard work/completed KRs by employee. Favoritism from the top down is rampant. Reorganizations of departments/staff occur every couple years with no reason given to those impacted by the reorg. These reorgs ALWAYS benefit those in existing leadership roles and often create additional high-level positions not offered to current staff. Knee-jerk reactions by the CEO/leadership at any pushback from vendors, exhibitors, or providers result in immediate policy changes without considering repercussions of their response or the staff upholding the LEADERSHIP APPROVED POLICIES. The staff upholding the approved policies are not considered, nor supported or protected. (I.e., becomes the scapegoat) Real and/or false complaints lodged against staff are investigated but staff is automatically assumed/treated guilty until innocence can be proven. Despite the outcome of the “investigation”, retaliation from high level roles is present. Communication is at an all time low. No opportunities for advancement. Professional development funds are frequently cut with each budget season and are offered on a first come, first serve basis. Burnout is considered a badge of honor here.
