Pros

Salary is above average compared to peers in the industry

Cons

Upper management don’t care about the employees if you are not a revenue generating position. The business leaders treat corporate employees like animals. They can yell at you in the meetings. The technical departments are extremely under staffed. No IT support. Workload is extreme. No holiday year end party or appreciation. No continuous education or training support. Basically it is a job for salary. Nothing else you can expect. The company went IPO last year, the upper management celebrated in New York. All the middle and lower employees got was a corn that worths 50 cents. No employee stock options, don’t even have a chance to buy it with initial price even you work there for a few years. I don’t recommend this company if you are looking for a company that value, respect, and appreciate your work.

Pros

-Salary and bonus -The few people who actually were professional and/or showed basic human decency were great (luckily this included my immediate team) -The newish COO of Corporate is intelligent and personable; there may be hope that he can make positive changes.

Cons

Unprofessional culture -Most people working at Corporate, and at mid-level management in RT and RSGUM are incredibly unprofessional. These people will have zero respect for your knowledge, your work, your time, or you as a person in general. -There is a lot of childish trash talking behind people's backs that goes on; senior-level management and VPs not excluded. Employee appreciation/engagement -This company truly does not care about you if you are not in a revenue-generating position; you are just a number to them. Employee engagement and professional development are nonexistent. -At IPO, many of the employees who were doing the grunt work to make it successful (i.e., individual contributors) did not get any offers for equity, discounted stocks, etc. The employees who helped make the already very rich people above us even richer via this IPO got nothing in return. -Work/life balance. You cannot relax on PTO because you are expected to be checking and responding to your emails. Complete lack of diversity at leadership level -The only 2 C-level women were forced out, and there is only 1 person of color at the C-level. -It is very disheartening when a company extolls how diverse they are by featuring their POC individual contributors in videos, marketing, etc. but then never actually promotes these people to leadership positions. Lack of accountability -Many VP and C-level employees have no control or management of their own teams' responsibilities or output, and feign ignorance when confronted about it.
