Business outlook
Pros
The leaders care. The pay is more than competitive. Real opportunities to develop. (It's truly ok to make a mistake and fess up about it.) My coworkers and leaders are solution oriented.
Cons
Slow to change. Since the company has been around for over 100 years, they know better than to jump on every new fad or trend. Unfortunately that leaves us a bit behind the times. Some days, going into the office is like going back 20 years (in terms of both attitudes and technology). Execs and senior leaders are too "in the weeds". While they're super-smart, they often weigh in on decisions that are well outside of their area of expertise. The decision making process slows down, or frankly, deteriorates all-together at this stage.
