No Advancement

Recommend

Pros

- Only a handful of managers are micromanagers. Others tend to leave you alone as long as you do your job.

Cons

- No advancement opportunities, especially if your a white male. Not being racist or anything, but they are presently only promoting women and minorities in an effort to diversify management. I'm not saying that I disagree, but they tend to only promote minorities in certain offices instead of having a truly diverse management sector. In my old office there were 80% female supervisors in an office that was 80% men and no minorities. In another office it was 80% men and all minorities. Its gives the appearance that they have a quota to meet rather than hiring right person. One male in our office was promoted and he was a minority, but they downsized his position and was demoted. - Not paid bonuses or higher salary at review time for exceeding expectations. - When economy tanked management took ALL employee morale benefits away.

Pros

There are a multitude of diverse work options within the company. Opportunities are abundant no matter what department you land in.

Cons

You must be willing to go where they go. They are no longer geographically expansive as they were just a few years ago. Economies of scale now limit your ability to choose where you live if you want to remain with the company.
