CNA – “Work hard, no play”

Pros

Lots of smart people, good salary and benefits, work life offered, previously had good developmental opportunities

Cons

Aggressive, back stabbing competition due to performance/bonus structure and layoffs, constant fear of being next to go. Lots of variability between departments, some really slack and you can make a long term career while others work nonstop and burnout. Poor management. Current HR team is a joke, lots of promotions in their ranks to VP but its favoritism not results and they do not get feedback/retention/succession/engagement results they should. They need to work with managers more and better.

Advice to Senior Management

Need consistent, aspirational vision and time to actually execute strategy - stop changing before results are in and laying off . Be accessible and learn from lots of talented staff who can teach you a lot more than you know.
