CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Health insurance is good but could have a better plan Pension matching up to 8% Life insurance Snacks in the pantry 27 days PTO Online courses available

Cons

- No option to permanently WFH, 3 days a week to be in office - Awful communication - Even though there are courses you can do, there is no career growth. The rare times a promotion comes around, they always seem to go to the same people. - A lot of pigeonholing - Workload should be more balanced (I cover other people when they are out, but no one covers me when I am out) - Expectation to work late (Get comments when leaving early) - Management updates are almost always sales figures, never really hear about what's happening within the company
