Pros

BSCI is filled with a lot of very talented and motivated people in addition to being very experienced. The company's culture is one of continous improvement. Therefore, there's always opportunity to learn.

Cons

Senior management is very slow to promote. Lower level managers and supervisors are open and willing to promote but senior management always seem to but the stops on promotions. BSCI is a big company, and therefore it's sometimes difficult to understand where decisions are coming from. Not a whole lot of movement within company if you're interested in changing careers within the company. You seem to build a reputation and get pigeon-holed.

Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. My coworkers who were at the same level as me were supportive.

Cons

Work environment was highly stressful and often unsustainable. Management created a culture where employees were frequently overworked, undervalued, and burned out. Communication from leadership was inconsistent and their expectations changed frequently. Work-life balance was very poor. Employee concerns did not get taken seriously unless they directly impacted company performance. When an HR compliant involving my supervisor was filed for his behavior with input from the majority of the team members, no meaningful action was taken beyond stating it was handled "per BSC policy". Opportunities for promotion and career advancement were limited. Employees who treated others poorly were often still rewarded or praised as long as performance metrics were met. There was a clear culture of favoritism and hierarchy, and employees outside of those circles could work above and beyond expectations without receiving recognition or advancement opportunities. In 2 years, there were 12 employees who were fired in a 10 person department.
