Pretty solid if you can advocate for yourself
Pros
-Leadership will listen to your career desires if you document it in HR system -Moving up ladder is doable if you’re good at talking…politics matter -Culture is good in most businesses. Collaborative. If you ask for help you will get it. Must be able to be confident to obtain this help -Work-life balance is outstanding in commercial realm. No one cares if your sick, no one cares if you take a day off to handle appointments. Most don’t even log their vacation. No one cares.
Cons
-Safety is a facade depending on the business. If a chemical is known to be dangerous but it’s an integral part of the industry, low customer safety is ignored -Poor onboarding process across the board -Poor job descriptions. Must be able to say no. Leadership support is key to saying no without negative ramifications -Salary increase is decided by leadership twice in a year, only a set amount of budget is provided and your boss has to advocate for you. Cowardly boss means no promotion, but you can gain favoritism one above your leader to get support. Must be smooth with this process. Natural pay bump is targeted every 3 yrs -D&I: they only care about women in leadership. I see minimal POC ratios except for asian.
