Pros

In the beginning this was the place to be. You were compensated and recognized for a job well done. This disappeared and never returned.

Cons

Pay raises disappeared for at least 15 years. When you were provided a raise, a .25 cent raise was the most received. On average it was a .15 cent raise and you were advised that you were already at the cap of your salary. There was no where to move within the company. Poor communication with HR. If they say it was confidential it wasn't. Then they wonder why you didn't come to them in the first place. When yearly goals were missed, upper management and executives received their bonuses by keeping operating costs low (no raises, etc.). Being a public held company, you can see when executives were paid their bonuses, the rest of the team did not. More managers than necessary and no one communicates.

Pros

There genuinely are a lot of great people working here but they are often lower level employees. Great work-life balance and flexibility (for the most part..) Solid benefits package(health insurance, PTO, etc)

Cons

Communication with management is very poor. They hardly consider the opinions of the “worker bees.” Compensation and incentives slowly eroded while you continue to take on more work. “Feathers in your cap” does not count as compensation. Very little, if any, commission. Far too aggressive targets for the resources available. Extreme offshoring of existing positions leading to everyone feeling like they have a gun pointed to their head. Executives hardly have any idea what their organization even looks like on a day to day basis. “Visionary” executives don’t cut it. Most importantly: non-existent path for career development and growth. Taken advantage of, especially in this role. Major conflicts of interests with AM’s and management surrounding growing out of the SSE position.
