      Dinosaur company with good benefits and culture

      International credit specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits (consistent medical / dental / vision plans with Aetna) No micromanagement Good culture - most employees are friendly and helpful, and this has been one of the best working environments of my professional career The good benefits and good company culture almost made up for the cons, and if not for the cons, I never would have left.

      Cons

      Overworked for low pay (across all positions) Some old school practices / mentalities Not enough room for growth / no where for employees to voice their opinions and ideas for moving forward No defined SOPs (up to employee to figure out their own processes) Middle management is over-worked and often unavailable to help those reporting to them Very little diversity

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits Interesting and mostly courteous friendly coworkers Many people will try to help you and support career goals Working with books and have access to a massive library of front and backlist Flexibility with PTO (plenty of PTO with additional days added every few years of service)

      Cons

      Lack of executive transparency (most information breaks through PW or socials well before a company wide memo is sent) Low mobility outside of executive levels Low pay and low annual wage increases (2% on average) Workload expectations exceed compensation Folks tend to stay in their positions rather than moving upward; go for “title change” rather than promotion preventing junior employees from achieving senior roles Leadership is anti-union
