Pros

Travel benefits, competitive pay and bonus opportunities, great culture, exciting opportunities. The truth is that although it's a difficult job and a difficult time to work in the industry, I love it and want to stay at this company for the long term.

Cons

Lots of emotions about the last decade of mergers. Many are not fully onboard with the vision, especially now that we're losing a ton of money.

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
