Pros

Good People to work with. Work life balance is not so bad as well.

Cons

No growth opportunies...........unless you worked for a "particular" competing company. If that's your case, heck you might become the next VP of your department even if you are not qualified.

Pros

Individual contributors are lovely people. Work/Life balance leans heavily to life as lead feet of leadership allows for a low work load.

Cons

Exeter Finance is a toxic place to work. The attract talented candidates through deception and false promises. Leadership claims to want to develop employees to a level of skill that would allow them to easily leave, but keep them happy enough to stay. Instead they cripple their effectiveness and dismantle career paths. Employees are asked to take initiative, only to be reprimanded for doing so with out first obtaining permission from management and executive management. Employees are given directives from leadership then reprimanded for following through. Many employees are given zero guidance on what they should be working on, and when they ask for tasks they are told to wait until it's a priority. This goes on for months at a time. When it does become a priority, tasks are given with little to no details of expectations with unreasonable deadlines. When talking to other employees about frustrations at work the root cause always lands at the feet of leadership.

Pros

Growing company. Leadership changes taking place. The board got rid of 2015's CEO, his Chief of Staff and brought back the prior CEO.

Cons

New CIO is more of a hands on developer than strategic thinker. Prior CIO and team was on track maturing the department in COBIT or ITIL controls. IT Operations needs to be a focus to reduce performance problems.
