Pros

They were alwasys on the bandwagon for the lastest book to inspire management and would give the books out for free. Offer courses on anything you want to learn to enhance your skill set.

Cons

Wants everyone to think outside the box yet fails to embrace the new ideas. Cult like enviroment, take assimliation to a whole new level. Managers have been "encouraged" to step down and then forced to work side by side as peers with crew they use to managed. Careers of tenured crew can be derailed based on one bad review regardless of validity of the review.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
