Pros

Working in the Seattle HQ is a big step up from the dinosaur buildings in Federal Way. Management seems to think that employees place a financial value on the work environment though and we are told that our work environment is 25% of our compensation. It's a beautiful but soul-less building in a neighborhood where you will be assaulted if you're a female in a skirt and heels. Shouldn't be a problem though since most likely if you work here you are white and male.

Cons

The resounding chorus heard throughout the low-cubicles on all seven floors: I have too much work to do, I can't keep up! To tolerate the high demands of work here you have to be able to truly leave your work when you leave the building. I always felt like I was failing (despite positive annual reviews) and when I told my manager he said he understood, that he also felt overloaded, but that we had to just persevere. The culture as a result is one of complaints and negativity, and my more talented colleagues in Seattle have ended up moving on to other opportunities. Regarding compensation, they seem to offer mid to low end of the salary range and have been transparent about their desire to attract mid to low end in terms of talent.

Pros

- Subsidized transit - Vacation/sick time - Benefits ok but are cut every year - 401K match - Pay is ok for Federal Way not for Seattle

Cons

- Moving to Pioneer Square which is a dangerous place to be even in broad daylight - limited flexibility and teleworking even with the huge increase in commute times - Constantly cutting staff - No real vision for the future except to cut manufacturing - CEO is a one-trick pony and weak leader - Women are not valued and are limited in what positions they are considered for - Benefits being cut every year with no real explanation

Pros

Very limited as a woman. As a man, there are many opportunities for growth, continuing education and bonuses.

Cons

There was no opportunity for growth within the company. I experienced gender bias when it came to salary, hours worked (including lunch), continuing education and role responsibility. One example: the guy who previously held my position was able to arrive in the late morning and leave at 3pm with no issues. I, on the other hand, was told to be on site at 8AM sharp until 5PM sharp. Even if leaving for lunch I was to report my time which was closely monitored. The manager I reported to directly told me I was doing great work and he didn't know how to coach me because I was doing everything right, however, the mill manager of the site I supported was uncomfortable working with a woman so I was let go; even though I demonstrated an exemplary performance record and received several accolades from upper management in corporate. I received several suggestive advances from on site management and regret not reporting it even though it made my daily tasks uncomfortable. I experienced a similar situation in corporate and the solution was for me to try to avoid the guy so I felt I was in a tough position.
