Pros
Salary and generous PTO. Not much else.
Cons
The cult of personality combined with HR's incestuous relationship with executive management created a no-win situation for most of us who were trying to improve process and move critical projects forward. Emphasis was on how well an employee was liked by a member of the sr leadership team. Multiple managers/directors/sr. directors forced out through questionable HR maneuvers. Tendency to abide by leadership wishes instead of following legally accepted HR practices. Few opportunities for advancement. The hypocrisy displayed by sr management regarding their expectations for moral and ethical judgement was astounding. I witnessed many sr leaders demonstrate immature behavior more fitting for a high school clique, sometimes to the extent that deadlines were missed or projects thwarted just so that the leader in question could have his/her ego stroked. Lack of updated technology strategies for key functions/projects created chaos and avoidable extreme work loads for many employees. Lack of coordinated, centralized training structure left many employees poorly trained/prepared for contributing to large-scale projects and key initiatives. Then, to meet deadlines for projects promised to the owner/partners, leadership would hire high priced consultants to help employees. If proper training and more thoughtful planning strategies were provided in the first place, the many talented and ambitious employees could have completed projects efficiently without the extra expense of consultants. HR dept was a Stepford Wives-esque, power hungry group that created more problems than they solved. They had a history of recruiting from other companies and then turning on the newly recruited employee because sr leadership didn't like the new hire's personality. There were so many HR employees, they were looking for things to do to justify their existence. CYA stance of so many department leaders made it almost impossible to determine ownership and responsibility for many processes. The overall atmosphere was vicious, competitive and suspicious. Many of us adopted the TRUST NO ONE attitude. Difficult to work as a team when everyone feels like everyone else is a spy. So glad to be away from the toxic atmosphere of Prime.
