Pros

Relative to other companies, SVU's compensation packages are extremely competitive. Additionally, in my experience management was very open to bottom-up ideation, despite the rather hierarchical nature of the organization.

Cons

Extremely and overly consensus-based. Decisions-by-committee, which made the process of enacting any sort of change or action very bogged-down and bureaucratic.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company Lots of advancement oppts Good benefits People seem to work together well Support learning (on-site and with college tuition)

Cons

Too many systems in the org. Retail competing against Distribution Size - you might come up with the best idea, but by the time it gets passed down, it's too late to react. Feel like you cannot make a large impact. Pay is ok, could be better, if they want to attract and keep good talent. Time off awful (2 weeks of vacation). Worked on way too many projects for new fee & business proposals, most of these projects ended up scrapped. Feel like worked for no good reason, other than pay.
