Vantaggi
Much time & consideration went into the hiring and placement process. I advanced through multiple positions over the years as this company helped me set & reach attainable goals in both personal and professional development. They even offered health incentives utilizing the private gym upstairs. The environment was respectful and positive with great boundaries on work/home balance. Wisdom from multiple leaders in management taught me numerous life lessons that I in time learned to embrace and have had the opprtunity to bring to other organizations. There were internal and external initiatives to encourage teamwork and boosting morale that serviced our local community as well as overseas. The benefit options & profit sharing were better than most competetitors. This was a company that enforced the preventitive value in "Pause & Reflect" instead of being reactionary. I still hold them in the highest respect.
Svantaggi
It took longer than expected to become accustomed to the pace and expectations, as they are unique and very high level. The majority of people hired didn't make the cut BUT those who remained were of the same vision and became family. In retrospect, the pay was under what I feel my positions encompassed but I was not vocal about requesting more. It took a (rather painfully) long time for things to be approved such as changes or event approvals, however, I now see the wisdom in the decisions of prioritization and delay.
