Pros

The office was close to my house and when I started we were able to work from home while on call and once a week.

Cons

My manager was verbally abusive on several occasions. It took four years for my salary to reach the level I was promised prior to starting on a contract to hire basis. The benefits brocure I was sent prior to hiring was out of date. The pension plan in that brocure had been discontinued.

Pros

You get to work on real supply chain problems that actually matter to operations, not just theoretical stuff. Remote flexibility is solid and the work-life balance is fair. The tech stack is modern (Snowflake, Azure, Power BI) and if you're someone who takes initiative, you'll get the chance to own things end-to-end. The people you work with day-to-day are genuinely good and most teams have a collaborative culture.

Cons

Growth from senior level and beyond can be painfully slow even when you're clearly doing the work above your role. Leadership and org changes happen often which resets your visibility and momentum with whoever is advocating for you. Some areas still lack clear ownership so things fall through the cracks or land on whoever is willing to pick them up. Pay doesn't always reflect the scope of what you're actually doing.
