Pros

Internal mobility. Wonderful and wickedly smart co-workers. Great benefits.

Cons

Management and Senior Leaders - initiatives constantly changing before the company is able to see the result of the work. Competing priorities. Mixed messaging. Company makes too much money and throws it around at the next shiny object that grabs their attention....to the detriment of the employee's work/life balance.

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
