Pros

Pension plan, Great team and good culture pre-RTO

Cons

RTO mandate for no reason Below market compensation Bonuses below par past 2 years Lack of advancements Lack of confidence in leadership because of constant changes Management does not have an employee retention plan Company doesnt have the “dollar amounts” to do team building/employee appreciation lunches/Christmas dinners/happy hours, only potlucks New CEO was hired as a desperate act to save a sinking ship at the expense of culture
