Pros

Feeling like you are making a difference Team members & coworkers Large company with lots of opportunities

Cons

Senior leadership, especially the C-Suite, is so completely out of touch with what happens on the front lines, it is scary. They spend hours on things that don’t matter, instead of focusing on the major issues that need to be changed. So many politics within the executive team. Playing favorites and letting unprofessional and unethical actions slide.
