Pros
The menagerie of worldly, educated, and intelligent individuals working there. Generous PTO and remote working capabilities.
Cons
Let me count the ways.... 1. Leadership and upper management are more concerned about their generous salaries and resumes to care about employees. 2. Ageism is rampant, leading smart, hard working employees to be consistently demeaned and incapable of carrying out tasks, projects, or dare to have ambition lest we be patted on the head like Cindy Lou Who and told to mind our place. 3. PCORI hemorrhages employees and instead of recognizing it is due to major, major issues (ageism, narcissistic leadership, inequitable pay, opaque and subjective promotion guidelines, exhausting managers/directors who cannot manage, inadequate support, a defunct HR department..I could go on) the organization lacks the introspection needed to actively implement solutions and properly support employees. 4. Leadership in engagement is spotty at best leaving fantastic managers to exit left or continually remain powerless. "leaders" are not properaly evaluated in a 360 manner perpetuating a lack of transparency. 5. Extreme variation in workplace balance/fulfillment depending on the department. 6. It is a mini AHRQ which proves no benefit to business practice, reporting structure, programmatic decisions, and work flow.
