Pros
- Always something to do, but never too stressful or over-burdened - Current CEO has been very proactive in sharing information on the company, financial position, strategy, moves to strengthen the company during the recent downturn in banking and crumbling of the mortgage markets - Many terrific, hard working peole work here
Cons
- Performance feedback is spotty at best - usually only those who are doing poorly are given feedback, the rest are taken for granted - Many of the managers with whom I come into contact are non-confrontational and not willing to fix the problems or the people responsible for them... head in the sand for many is the way to go - No raises for the last 2 years - expected during this economy and market, but is still a con - Average benefits, decent costs, but no tution reimbursement, no discounts to gyms, etc. - Some departments are often the last to know of a major change or project that impacts a lot of people - leaves them scrambling and makes them look bad when the information doesn't get out on time or when the information gets out on time but is incomplete/lacking - "Required" is rarely enforced (appraisals, coaching feedback, etc)
