Pros

Generous pay, which makes sense for the incompetence you have to deal with on a daily basis. HR Shared Services is the best place to not have to do any real work.

Cons

Management, culture, favoritism...the most toxic work environment to work in. No sense in discussing concerns with HR since there isn’t an HR team for the SSC.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
