Pros

Working with caring and knowledgeable coworkers and partners was the best part. As HR you feel you are able to make a positive impact on your client groups. Most of the HR leaders are very competent, supportive, and help to provide learning opportunities. The company and HR groups have very exciting goals and projects, and consistently look to improve things. Supporting the missions of the company is also rewarding and thrilling to be a part of.

Cons

Like most big companies, there are internal challenges among the HR leaders to get certain decisions made in a timely manner, and bureaucracy that can get frustrating to deal with. Working in HR at this company requires a lot of patience for the internal processes to be executed, especially when executive leaders are adamant in their own approaches to situations and disregard sound HR guidance.

Pros

9/80 schedule, career growth opportunity if you are a hard worker, vacation time is not hard to request/ not hard to take, not micro managed, relaxed office environment. when trying your best, you do not need to be terrified to make mistakes. Upper management seems relatively “not evil”

Cons

Very fast paced. You will always have “too much” to do. You need to be organized. It can be hard to set work/life balance if you aren’t very clear with your boundaries. On the job training is zero, you get thrown right in. No overtime pay.
