Pros

Opportunity to work across multiple departments and expand your knowledge of the industry is a plus. Many intelligent people who want change management and to make a difference within their teams. I have created some life-long friendships with many co-workers that I never would have met if it wasn't for this role. The company does indeed set out to hire change makers - however it stops at the hiring. I do very much love my direct team and those I work alongside each day. They are the true MVPs!

Cons

Out of all the amazing people who do work here - we are all treated the same and not in a good way. We are belittled for our intelligence, we are called names, and we are "gaslighted" into believing that we are less than. I've been with the company for over 2 ears and still no merit increase - they say it's due to the pandemic, but yet they brag at how profitable we have been through it. They also insult us by saying that we are only productive if we come into the office - even after we've proven to be incredible successful in a remote environment. We know we won't be remote forever - but being told that we are unsuccessful due to being remote was the largest form of gaslighting/insult I've ever seen.
