Pros

- great coworkers; everyone is lovely to work with and passionate about the higher education industry - lots of opportunities for cross-departmental collaboration - PTO and other benefits are excellent

Cons

- at the start of 2024, EAB announced it was now matching $0.50 for every dollar contributed up to 4% into employee 401Ks. Prior to 2024, EAB was matching dollar for dollar up to 7%. Slashing employees' hard-earned retirement savings is absolutely cruel... LET THAT SINK IN, PEOPLE! - Oh, and not to mention there is ZERO flexibility in negotiating your salary. After 3 years of employment I still had no promotion or raise. I asked about the possibility of renegotiating my salary simply to meet the rise of inflation and was told verbatim "if you want more money, go find another job." - managers claim to be "approachable" but often fail to advocate for their direct reports which results in lack of promotional opportunities. - there is a clear culture of favoritism in this company. Only those who "know the right people" have any shot at moving up and getting raises. Many newer employees are regarded as outsiders

Pros

Had a history of supporting employee needs (e.g. hybrid)

Cons

- has become obsessed with in-office culture and "being present" (i.e., super limited full remote roles now), would not be surprised if the exec team submits a RTO mandate soon - compensation is under what you should receive, regardless of tenure or level. The amount of work far outpaces your salary. -because of the point above, burnout and a culture of irritability is omnipresent. - do NOT take the senior promotion, it just results in more work (you do multiple smaller projects in addition to your current workload and now lead trainings) and a small pay increase that does not even match inflation. - expectation that less senior staff have to interpret everything, big lack of clarity between need-to-have feedback and preference-edit feedback - instead of annual raises that match inflation, you get to spend full days quarterly with the team talking about topics that have nothing to do with your day-to-day - Management has become very clique-y, good luck moving into management if you're not already a part of the clique (or fully remote) - Unpaid overtime is expected but you will get shamed for not doing everything during the workday. - We currently work with the military and with the police as recruitment strategists so ICE will probably be next
