Pros
-The people I worked with are amazing. They care about each other, allowed flexibility to have some work life balance, and helped me grow in my career. - Some soft benefits still exist, like the wellness reimbursement and employee appreciation day. - It's a great starting point, you can learn skills then move on to a company that actually wants to pay your value.
Cons
-The pay is pitiful across the board. I moved to another company to do the same responsibilities and got a 37% raise. - Every year raises are capped at 3%, which in the current state of inflation means basically losing money. - Acquired new companies and countries faster than they could sustain - #hylandlife is a thing of the past - Company values such as employees are family are just words on the wall, not something that is actually followed through on - Miscommunication or lack of communication is rampant. You'll hear from top levels that financially the company is in great shape, then get word that the travel budget is being cut by 50% to save money. - Employees are fleeing. From all departments. It's hard to competently run a company when the individuals who know what they're doing are leaving for better paying jobs.
