Avantages
Decent pay starting out but over time it becomes restricted. Worked with some good management members directly. Work/Life balance was decent, benefits were okay. They have good intentions and processes, but not everyone follows them.
Inconvénients
Biggest downside is if you are not in the "in crowd" or good friends with people in power positions it is very difficult to get a promotion. Promotions tend to be more about who you know rather than what you know. Saw many people promoted to positions that they were not qualified for (small things like using microsoft excel, knowing the processes, familiarity with the systems, etc). The communication between cross-functional teams is very poor, almost non-existent. Hard to do you work when changes are made and not shared with other areas affected by the change. Leadership can be spiteful, almost to the point of a witch hunt. Personally felt attacked on numerous occasions when bringing concerns to management and then being told that you are not a team player. No mentor programs or anything to help associates gain knowledge in other areas they may want to move to in their career. Moving freeze that is in place for 6 months at a time really kills morale.
