Pros

Freedom to create and implement process improvements. Job security if you're a top performer.

Cons

Low pay Inflexible schedule: going back to 4 days in the office despite record earnings back to back during Hybrid/Remote years. No career path. It's very difficult to move up. Teams are isolated from each other, with managers as the points of contact.

Good Job - Needs better work-life culture

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, office culture is good, consistent hours without working more than 40-45 a week.

Cons

Mandatory in-office 3 days a week, no exceptions. PTO is horrendous (unlimited for some roles, other it’s only 15 days a year). Only 6 corporate holidays off. Some roles are not flexible where you have to be on at all times, making it difficult to flex outside of work. Takes a long time to get promoted. These rules will have to flex with the current lack of finding talent.
