Vantaggi
As an employee, you were able to further your education by attending seminars, training classes, even get reimbursed if you decided to attain certifications (i.e., CPA). Pru also organized many team building events, which allowed you to get to know your teammates better, as well as meet members of other groups.
Svantaggi
Based on my observation and experience here, I noticed men weren’t treated as well, or as fairly, as women were. For example, I witnessed when a male employee was reprimanded for having to work from home (due to an emergency) to take care of his child. He was told “working from home was not a substitute for daycare” and was pointed to a section on the employee handbook where this was stated. Shortly after this, a new mother was awarded Working From Home privileges (at least once a week). I believe she expressed hardship finding baby sitters. Another female member of this group was also allowed to work from home once a week. Additionally, a third female member was accommodated with a special schedule. All this, while the men worked from the office and normal business hours (more often than not, well over 8hrs/daily). Finally, a member of management level would offer often professional advice to the female members of the group, while dismissing any aspirations her male team members would have. It was very uncomfortable to work here during these situations
