Pros

Benefits are out of this world good if you’re FT from cheaper than average health/dental/vision to Christmas parties and sick time as well as an average accumulation of PTO of 2-weeks worked: 1.5-days PTO Company strives to be inclusive and sustainable Chances for learning and growing so long as you don’t intend to stay in one area to accomplish it

Cons

Managers often are treated as untouchable even when they’re wrong. “Favorites” are promoted and become “co-worker of the month” over and over even when lesser known employees are nominated. Managers often fail to listen to long time employees causing problems within the department and a lack of trust. Micromanaging is a huge problem in food.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
