Some key benefits (401k match, profit share) were cut this year, but I'm confident that decision did save jobs and we are seeing investments made in technology and leadership that will pay off down the road and hopefully bring these $$ benefits back.
Cons
Waggener is still a very difficult place to advance professionally. They worry so much about moving from one level to the next, that they never seem to consider the possibility of moving up two pay grades or two levels if your abilities and experience warrant it. They also talk a big game about balance by providing sabbaticals, 4 weeks of vacation, 16 hours of community service, but most employees and especially Sr. leadership don't take advantage of these.
Advice to Senior Management
Lead by example. Promote those that are the most valuable and take care of them. Cut the fat in the other areas.
