Pros

Their pay for performance structure does reward the top performing employees. There are a lot of opportunities to post for other positions. Opportunity to advance if you are liked.

Cons

Coaching and on-the-job training are lacking Favoritism is apparent, especially in promotions Performance goals led to micro-managing, with monthly meetings about performance which can start to get redundant Lot of turnover in management which changes goals often

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
