Going down the wrong track

Business Outlook

Pros

Office parties are good... free popcorn.

Cons

No career planning, cannot choose skills and areas you wish to learn - it's dictated from above. No flexibility on hours worked. TSP does not work in this environment, more people complain about it than embrace it. CIO really is not in tune with the IT team.

Dysfunctional Leadership

Senior manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Used to be a fun place to work. People outside HQ are great to work with. Local leadership is realistic and grounded. Clients are still buying services. Life is great when you do not have to deal with HQ.

Cons

Compensation has not realistically changed over 3 years (raises were below real inflation). Efforts to improve salaries are reactive and poorly managed, compensation has been an issue in employee satisfaction surveys for two consecutive years. Information to address it is vague and inconclusive, will you update salaries, or just the bands? Stop the HQ battles. Trust in leadership is being eroded by misleading and systematic avoidance of career paths and compensation issues/

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company. Every year they break their goal in the amount of money they make.

Cons

There are so many politics. They are looking for robots that follow direction without thought. If you are one who thinks outside the box and tries to better things, then don't bother. It will get held against you. Especially in the technology department. Management rules with an iron fist and does not like being questioned.
