Pros

Autonomy, flexibility, work-life balance (in some departments) and great owners.

Cons

Not a good place for women to advance and still has many sexist comments being made to women from very high levels of leadership. In addition, this is the most politically charged environment I have ever worked--all of the SR VPS are trying to win the owners' approval and it causes a very toxic working environment. They do not pay market value and managers are not empowered. Leadership gets angry if you try to move ahead in the company. Titles don't mean anything here and incompetence is rewarded. In addition the "Values Based Leadership" is a joke--leadership only uses the values when they are convenient. Some departments do not agree with work-life balance.

I am very sorry that this is your take-away from the time you spent here at HOLT. Having written so recently, I am sincerely disappointed that you may have also left recently without taking advantage of the many ways to escalate concerns in the Company. I can share that we take issues like you have described very seriously. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and encourage you to let someone know when you are struggling to this level.

Pros

Lots of growth many good people to work. Bonus at the end of the year if they’re still doing that. Sends you to personal development training on their dime.

Needs better pay structure for all
