Business Outlook

Pros

Colleagues are fantastic, motivated, interesting and helpful. Journals can be interesting and the level of ownerhsip you are given is high Lots of training offered

Cons

The pay is not worth the pros and employees have no control over advocating for pay. HR don't consider COL or inflation - they just pick a number at the median of the industry and that's that. There is no relation to performance, individually or departmentally.
