Great team and benefits, but no growth opportunities

It specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The team I worked with was fantastic and the benefits were great.

Cons

No room for growth. I was an analyst for 10 years and was performing at a senior level but was not allowed to promote into that title. No matter how much I asked I would be told my time was coming but would get passed over, even after having discussions with management / senior leadership.
