Pros
Many people, from front-line subject matter experts to senior leaders, are very giving of their time and experience if asked. offers a pension plan positive changes seem to be under construction; senior leadership inspires confidence in understanding the issues and recognizing necessary changes
Cons
good old boys culture - despite recent trend toward diversity networks and language around diversity, middle-aged and older white men still unambiguously run the show. fewer leaders from different backgrounds means fewer available, respected, and experienced mentors for non-white and/or female employees means disadvantages for those employees and less support navigating the entrenched cliques. Change is painfully slow. When change happens, sometimes the communication is excellent, at other times it's quite poor. Inconsistent support for flex scheduling and remote work, even when situations are similar, based on individual manager personal preference Insensitivity surrounds layoffs and firing; lack of respectful, dignified treatment arrogant culture - Travelers is better just because it is Travelers and the people who have been at Travelers the longest are the smartest and most capable and everyone else should just be quiet and do what they're told until they've been here 30 years and then maybe they'll have something to add While senior leadership inspires confidence in understanding issues, middle management does not inspire confidence in a willingness and ability to execute.
