Pros

Vacation package is exceptional and is far above others in this field.

Cons

Extremely unprofessional leadership. Very reluctant to change or new ideas from less senior members with direct experience. Positions are not as advertised and good people are lost a result leaving others to pick up the pieces. Negativity is widespread and stems down from leadership itself.

Business Outlook

Pros

Level of compensation, company vehicle that comes with personal use, close knit office staff. Expense card. Strong local managers. Allot of pride in this industry, very selective industry.

Cons

Zero work/life balance. Expectations are absolutely unrealistic. Systems are antiquated. The "district" management team flat out ignore the specific challenges of each market and have a boiler plate set of expectations that do not always apply and are not very flexible.

Pros

Good people. Global exposure. Excellent PTO.

Cons

95% of directors are male. 85% of managers are male. 50% of staff is female. Do the math. Promotion opportunities for females are limited and typically they already know who they want in the position before it's ever posted.
