Successfully navigating favoritism will take you far

Assistant vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Swanky offices that they pay for rather than pay their employees, good coffee, milk options for coffee, snack bar and downtown Nashville parking

Cons

Career progression is stagnant. They prefer to layoff staff over upskilling them for latest technology. This is specific to the technology and operations. The promotion process is cumbersome to put it mildly. It places systematic barriers for employees who do not have support or resources to ‘network’. That means along with coming into the office three days a week , you have to commit to additional unpaid hours to grow your ‘network’. Promotions awarded are inconsistent. Lone wolf performers are rewarded so employees become reluctant to collaborate and there is a lot of time wasted due to working in silos and/or trying to highlight your performance rather than doing the work in the first place. I don’t trust anyone that I work with because of this. Managers regularly take credit for tasks that are way below their pay grade. Leaders prefer to stay in their ivory towers in New York even though the official headquarters of the company is in Nashville.
