CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Growing company providing room to advance career -lots of overtime

Cons

PTO and work life balance was the benefit that drew many of us to this company. They provided 192 hours pto per year at the start of employment, very generous policy. It brought a lot of talent on board. Beginning 2025, all employees with 0-4 years tenure will receive 80 hours instead. -Promotions are not merit based -Corporate execs making decisions they don’t understand -takes roughly a years time to get a raise after being assured it’s coming. -recent company and policy changes have been disappointing -poor QOL outlook -55+hours/week expected with 2 weeks total vacation/sick/personal/anythingbesideswork days
