HR is clueless upper management inept

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits until they are changed

Cons

HR refuses to listen to reason and facts completely clueless. Upper management hold everyone else to a higher standard but does very little to fix problems.. will yes you to death... off cycle raises do not happen period .....will promote without a raise as well ... beware they will not make you whole... this is why they are having a serious problem with retention in their operations center.....many employees are leaving and looking to leave .....they are replacing them with less than qualified workers ... no concern for loss of job knowledge even when other departments have voiced concerns regarding this as well.

Favoritism

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are a diverse candidate, you will absolutely get an opportunity to interview and have promotaional opportunities that likely would not be there otherwise if you are an existing exiting employee. The pay is good but it comes with many frustrations and a lot of work.

Cons

For a company so large, it is remarkable how favoritism is so prevelant at the executive level. Finance seems particularly poor in this area, and although there are employee surveys that have historically shown this to be an issue, it goes completely unaddressed. This makes excelling beyond a mid level management level beyond the reach of the substantial majority.
