Tale of one company with many faces
Pros
Good benefits, great co-workers, awesome profit sharing, stable company with longevity, many business units and areas to move around to.
Cons
Lack of promotional opportunities for people of color (outside of sales). Overall diversity numbers are good horizontally, but as you travel up the pyramid there are very few people of color in senior leadership positions. The company has many "BRGs" business resource groups (affinity groups); but this does not translate into opportunity for people of color. Promotional opportunities are selective--very political. You must know individuals and they must know you. Retention is an issues (especially for new employees with fresh ideas). Leadership does not seem to value tenure employees. New managers with very little people people skills are constantly being promoted into management position because they might have been good at managing a process; or "knew" someone; but have no clue how to motivate a team. Company is 20-25 years behind in technology, systems, and reporting.
