Pushing Tenured Employees Out

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay. Good culture. Innovative thinking.

Cons

Lack of opportunity for advancement. Management out of touch with day to day work. HR policies are implemented but frequently disregarded. Pockets of "old boys' club" still exist. Tenured employees are quickly pushed aside for the flavor of the week.

Pros

Everyone is very helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable in their respective fields. The company seems committed to slowly but surely replenishing and supplementing the workforce. People genuinely seem to like their jobs and working for the company.

Cons

There definitely a generation gap between experienced workers and new hires. It's almost as if the company had a hiring freeze for about 10-15 years. They now seem committed to making up for that.

Pros

PTO, Benefits and Flex Work Offering

Cons

No movement at all, no career advancement opportunties and zero discussions about succession planning. The development dialogues are only given to check a box. The company says they want to be digital, but then cut IT resources, delay much needed system upgrades, and stop capital investments that should have already been completed. In the few two years, I have started to really wonder about the corporate strategy and senior leadership.
