Pros

work life balance medical/dental nice campus

Cons

Management expects employees to do more work without the pay and they go home early. Management doesn't trust their employees and plays favorites. No career path within the company. Transitioning to another department for better work opportunities is nearly impossible. Job descriptions do not exist once you've been in the company for more than 3 years.

Pros

Stable company (So far, but could change) Good mission (On the surface) Health Benefits (Good, but declining)

Cons

So many similarities with the Trump Administration. 1. Terrible Leaders: People are promoted based on favoritism and who have bent the knee. Forget about the most intelligent and experienced person with integrity and leadership skills being promoted. You will find promotions and people in senior positions that absolutely make no sense. 2. Fear and blind loyalty: Often unprofessional and bullying behavior by leadership (Especially within GBD), where these bad actors will still strive and other leaders and most employees will say nothing. Much like republicans that probably know better, but are unwilling to take the risk and do/say the right thing. Why bother with ethics training when the leaders do not value ethical behavior, and nothing is done about bad behavior? 3. Lack of awareness: GIS is great, but living in a GIS bubble without realizing or caring enough about what is happening in the environment. 4. Lack of true DEI: Just look at the directors and you will see. 5. Big promises but no delivery: Claims of career growth, inclusion, being valued as an employee are all BS. Promises of decent profit sharing that has never happened over many years.
