Pros
The office is in a nice location. The health insurance options are satisfactory.
Cons
Job security is low due to spin-offs (Halyard Health Spin-off), Outsourcing (Genpact) and automation (Corporate Process Improvements also known as layoffs). There is little room for advancement and the departments are very compartmentalized. Management looks down upon wanting to transfer to other departments internally, even after you have been in your role for a couple years. On average, a workweek is about 50 hours. Between 1 and 2% raises per year and no bonuses. The Knoxville office pays significantly less than other KC locations, oftentimes to do similar jobs. Management plays favorites with employees. Other KC locations will not consider you for job opportunity transfers because the pay grades are generally much better in those locations and they wonder why you are in such a poor paying job. Performance reviews are subjective.
